I think sometimes people do need to be pushed a little into opening up, but not forced into it. And your resons for not wanting to do so yet are very sound, I think that having a support system in place before opening up about traumatic events is very important, and if you would feel more comfortable with a female therapist then maybe it would be sensible to at least look into getting one. Do you know how lng it would take to change psychs?
I have never really fully opened up about abuse stuff with psychs/therapists/councelors, I've told them in a very fact based mannor that it happened, but neer actually properly gotten into it, so there is a limit in how much advice I can give. But I can say that I do believe that yor reasoning seems very logical and sensible to me.
