To be honest, there are a lot of people who bring in written notes and hand those notes to their T instead of directly talking to their T. It's really not much different than what you're doing. In fact, I'd argue that what you're doing is fairly normal.
I agree it is pretty normal to write things down and bring it to sessions. My T is psychodynamically focused so I think she is trying to encourage "free association" and more spontaneous expression of emotion but that is still something I find very hard . Also, I tend to forget things if I don't write them down.
