I think being "pushed" to talk can be traumatic for some people. I guess my question is, why do you feel the need to be pushed? And why wouldn't you talk to your therapist about this directly? Therapy can be a good place to practice new ways of being, new skills. Maybe you could practice talking directly to your therapist about this, not necessarily the things you are reluctant to talk about, but rather this need you feel to be "pushed" and where that comes from...
