I definitely have trouble talking sometimes. Many Ts use silence as a therapeutic tool. It allows the client time to sit and think and process and then speak. Clients can't always get to the speak part, but think of how much more overwhelming it would be if you were sitting there and crying and trying to find words and T was just blabbing on and on about whatever. Over time (and sometimes a long time) those periods of silence typically lessen. If it's an issue between you and your T, like a trust issue or just not connecting, maybe you could "try out" other Ts. I don't think all is lost for you and therapy. I think you're going through a normal part of the therapy process... I have been in therapy for 3 years and still have times where I sit for 10 minutes without anyone saying anything. It hasn't ever gotten less frustrating for me, but since I now realize the opportunity silence offers, I have learned to accept it and work through it. Best wishes to you but try to hang in there and keep going.
