It's pretty obvious that you are feeling quite a bit- so much that you're having physical aspects of anxiety. It sounds like the problem is you can't verbalize those feelings in the presence of your therp. Honestly that comes with time and trust- how long have you been going? Does he remind you of someone that you feel unresolved anger towards? Not expressing emotions tells your therp quite a lot too, if a great deal of time elapses without you feeling safe enough to progress then maybe you should try someone else. Writing helps too, I e-mail my pdoc all the time. I've seen mine for 3 years and I still am very closed up in his presence, but I have major trust issues and he really gets it. So we wait.. Not everyone can conform to a time schedule, the important part of this is for you to feel better and not feel guilt about anything.
take care, judy
