I can't believe your therapist hasn't caved. Mine always breaks the silences with questions, prodding, etc. Once I tried--not total silence--but refusing to talk about anything important (it was a f**ck you response) and boy, did it get a rise out of her. She actually yelled at me one day. I seriously doubt she'd be able to sit in silence for an entire session.
I think I'd get more p.o'd if a therapist *let* me just sit there in silence. As a matter of fact, I'd walk out (but I am not the model of healthy client behavior :)).
