I wouldn't try to second guess what your T means by what she says, if you don't understand you have to ask her about it. As Alexandra said, "helping with what?" She may not be talking about therapy at all, but about your general "attitude" -- you can't "do"/change anything through talking/writing and often talking/writing is used (at least was by me!) to avoid doing.
Writing about how afraid you are to look the grocery store clerk in the eyes and say "hello" is not going to help you become less afraid of talking to other people, only taking a chance and greeting the grocery store clerk and saying, "It's really cold today, isn't it?" and listening to her reply and "practicing" conversation is going to make you a better, more confident conversationalist, for example.
But again, that's my interpretation of what you T means by what she said, not your T's interpretation. Ask your T what she meant, she's the only one with the "correct" answer to your wondering/questions about what is happening between you and her.
