Elle,
You might try starting by talking about the fact that there is a topic that you think should be discussed in therapy, but you can't bring it up. Then tell her all the things you said in your post. All of your reasons are SO reasonable. My guess is that she would be able to help you figure out what the least risky way of getting into it might be. Your fear sounds so incredibly normal. She won't care if you "start at the beginning" and if you can make it sound like a coherent thought. She won't care if you don't know all the details - even if you never remember them all. She will care that you sound like you have a lot of anxiety about this issue and keeping it buried.
