I bet if you really think about it, your Therapist does bring up/out things you might avoid in some ways. You bring up the topic but I've noticed if there are things I stay away from (my mother) he will bring it (her) back into the discussion in subtle ways. I've stopped a few times and demanded, "How did we get here?!" because the conversation did NOT go in the direction I intended (i.e. - staying away from the hard stuff.
So I think showing/reading the list will cue him to watch for the emergent of these subjects and openings to bring them out. It will be valuable to you and to him. I'm impressed with your willingness to consider making such a list. It is very brave to commit those things to paper.
Let us know how it goes.
