I did the same with my T. For YEARS, we talked about just light and superficial things. As it turns out he was just waiting for me to be ready to talk about the real reason I was in therapy.
I got very frustrated with myself for not opening up and finally shared that with him. He clapped his hands together and "alright, let's get to work".
I think what you are doing is employing a defense mechanism. It's okay. When you are ready you will talk. Like me, it may take years before you get ready. But you will.
In my opinion, all you have to do is keep going to therapy and keep yourself in the game so to speak.
Seldom.
