Could you talk about this exact feeling with your T--that you feel uncomfortable giving any feedback? And maybe just talk in general about the feeling of imbalance in therapy--they're difficult conversations, but can be helpful and important ones.
One way I've found to be helpful in giving feedback to my T is to write/type it out, then either email it or hand it to him at the start of session. It can be easier than saying it out loud. maybe consider trying that? I've definitely found giving feedback to be helpful, and my T is very receptive to it. (Though he gives me feedback, too--part of his style.) And he's adapted as a result of what I've told him.
