I do it all the time too and it has taken me years...and I still can't talk openly needing it so badly. It's so painful to leave session because it all comes to me, all the things I wish I had said. I understand...it's so difficult. To need to talk and want to talk so badly and then something in you doesn't let you...
There are some things that help...
I do email her and write letters to her. It helps me to at least tell her or let her know something..and then it makes it easier to say something (though I struggle with it and she's been really frustrated a lot of times). She makes jokes too...I've tried a lot of things, writing, making a tape for her, even recording a video, drawing...
Sometimes she has read letters in our session..and sometimes I've tried to read them aloud.Maybe you can give it some thought and maybe you can write or find another way to communicate until you can find your voice..
it takes time, trust and patience...
