More hugs for ((((((Annie))))))

I usually spend must of my sessions mute and the write all of this stuff and send it to her

Maybe she thinks you've really done well on the written, which it seems like you do a lot with her, and that you are ready for the next step. Are you able to talk about any topics with her, like the weather? I'm not joking when I say that, really. Maybe just start talking about any old thing that is non-threatening, so as to get the mouth working.

Annie, I'm also curious, if you are pretty much mute during your sessions, does your T talk? I think a lot of T's would not talk either if the client won't, and the two of you would sit there silent for an hour.
