Oh, those early silences!
My guess is that your new T is trying to avoid directing you right now, and is leaving silences in order to encourage you to fill them. Right at first, if you're not used to talking in therapy, that's a very useful way to get a bit more out of you. My second guess about it is that, if you build a therapeutic alliance with this particular T, the silences will dwindle.
Welcome to Babble! And welcome to therapy...
