Me and T go on walks every single session twice a week. We stop and go to stores. He's picked up his cat food, stopped at pharmacy got his allergy meds, got breakfast, all sorts of things. It made him real to me. All these things help my inner child heal. He's in the parental role, he's basically doing reparenting. Our walks are theraputic because in the office I don't talk at all. When we're walking we're always making forward progress, so I tend to open up and talk more. It also added to my attachment to him.

All I can say is give it another try. See if it's a going to be more helpful or not.
