How to bring up intimacy issues in therapy?

Discussion

Hi everyone,

​

So, I have been seeing my psychologist since February. I'm seeing him for depression, anxiety, CPTSD and suicidal ideation. He had been so empathetic and supportive. I feel really relaxed talking to him and I won't be alive today if it weren't for him.

However, I really don't know how to discuss issues relating to physical intimacy issues. It's a topic I'm so ashamed about and I just don't know how to bring that into a discussion. These issues have largely came from severe emotional abandonment and SA.
