Try to encourage yourself to acknowledge your feelings at the time they are happening. Before your session, tell yourself that for this session you are going to be non-judgemental about your own feelings and that means you can name them. For just this one session you will answer his question Yes. Let you and him bring you out a little so you can see that it's safe to do that there. Little risks based on your trusting him and learning to love you and everything that is you.

And I will try the same, as I do understand and struggle with it too.
