The "opposite" extreme isn't much better than our usual one. I don't know that "reporting"/no emotion is preparation for really talking about how you feel/what your heart "think" about it all? I guess he wants you to feel what you talked about and see what comes up. Could be you need a longer period of time to get much "out of" the telling. The telling isn't for your T to hear/know but for you and he to work with. What is "there" to work with? See if you can find yourself/your feelings on what you were talking about then you can talk about them with T that way and that will help.
