Won’t talking about all of this stuff just make it worse?
You don't have to talk about anything in therapy that you don't want to. Often people make great progress with me without ever talking about their childhood or 'deep' issues.
If it becomes clear that things from your past are significantly affecting you now, you will likely find it a relief to get it out, understand it, and deal with it. Turning on the light may reveal some uncomfortable things, but it's better than stumbling around in the dark.
