A few sessions ago I read a particularly vulnerable journal entry where I talked about my trauma to my therapist. I agonized going back and forth in my head all session, on how to ask to read her something, seeing my time dwindling. When there was maybe 5-10 minutes left, I realized I had left it too late and finally asked if I could read her something next session, to lay the ground work for our next session. She said I could read it then if I wanted to, and I said I was worried we would go over time, and she said that was okay, I why don't I try to read it and if we go over we go over. So I read that out, she helped me breathe a bit and stay with my emotions so I didn't slip into dissociation. She asked 1 or 2 questions and we ended our session. Here's the thing, since then we haven't discussed anything I disclosed or wrote about. I think maybe because I read it and we ended pretty soon after we obviously didn't have time to really discuss it, but I had kind of thought maybe we would talk more the next time I saw her or something but maybe it kind of got lost in the mix? It was pretty heavy for me to share (first kind of big disclosure with her), and there were some things I was kind of wondering/trying to figure out and needed help with. This may be my bad for not just saving it until we had a whole session to discuss. How would I go about bringing this up again? Without making it sound rude or upsetting her? I don't want her to feel badly or guilty, or think I'm complaining/being critical that we never touched back in on it.
TL;DR: I read my therapist something very personal about my trauma, which included some things I needed help figuring out. I read it close to the end of our session at her prompting, after that we have not discussed the contents since, how do I bring this back up?
