In my opinion, in the hands of a skilled therapist, anything that is said in therapy is of value. Usually, the therapist can glean some kind of information about you, even if you are simply talking about the weather.

For instance, simply by telling my therapist that I hated wind we were able to move that simple fact into an insight about situations when I was a child when all of my senses were totally overwhelmed. I simply did not have the coping skills to tolerate a barrage of sensory input - and that's why wind irritated me so much.

I think that rather than putting so much pressure on yourself, or accepting so much pressure from your therapist, that you should just talk and be yourself.
