I write things down and take them in.
I tell my therapist, "I really want to talk about X but I can't seem to get myself to. I need some help - perhaps questions?"
I leave voice mails in the middle of the night saying the same things.
Have you talked about not talking? I think that would be a really good way to break it open. Going 2/3 times per week is a huge investment of time and money. I think you need to take a deep breath and ask you therapist if he thinks he is the right fit for you - perhaps this style isn't making you feel safe or held. You keep showing up, he needs to get more actively involved with unpacking your feelings.
Just my two cents.
