The best outcome we connect and it's easy to talk to him.

The worst, not being able to talk or be honest, doesn't sound too catastrophic. So, worst case scenario, it's tough, you don't speak up, and then....
you can schedule another session, yeah?
Also, have you warned him how nervous you're feeling? Might be good for him to know that to give you extra help through it.
My therapist has been extremely kind, understanding and patient when I've let her know about these things, and not been able to talk. Sometimes we just sit in silence, or I try and send her a link to a song that helps me express my mood and she'll listen to that. I think it's all part of the journey.
