I definitely agree with what you're saying about it being my therapy and not his and my responsibility to guide it. I just get paralyzed by trying to pick one of things I've been thinking about to talk about. And then, if I do manage to blurt one out, I never seem to have much to say about it. I think I just need someone to whack me with a stick and say "keep talking there's more." I want to be better at it, I just haven't made any actual progress at that yet. See the "How to you get started" thread for my new experiment I'm going to try on doing things different.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I wrote down my ideas for a plan and I'm going to tell him even if I have to read it write from the paper (maybe I need some powerpoint slides or some illustrations)!
