Best advice I ever got about therapy:

Begin where you begin/begin where you are. (therapy itself and each session)

Talk about anything and everything: whatever comes to your mind. Don't censure yourself.

The therapist will listen in the way s/he is trained. It is a special kind of listening that will help him/her learn about you.

I think you already get most of that, but could be he is still learning and everything is going fine.

I told my last therapist that she talked too much sometimes. That I would be working up to something and she would fill up the space.

I appreciate that he does this when I'm having trouble getting started but I find it a bit hard / odd that he does this once I have gotten started. So I'm not sure how he envisages this going really. Sometimes I feel like his comments / remarks are more disruptive than anything. I read about that somewhere. I guess he has tried to offer, not exactly interpretations, but little comments like that every now and again. I guess I've noticed that I tend to be quite rejecting / dismissive of those. I don't think that he knows me well enough (has observed me for long enough) to have figured me out very well yet. I really do think that.

Tell him this. The pace is important too. Silences are important. For me they are important because I don't think fast and I need time sometimes to convince myself to talk without censuring.

The intimacy can be uncomfortable and when it is, we should be saying that. Sometimes it is recognizable as that and sometimes it feels like something else, so when we can recognize it we should say it, imo.
