i totally wrote a long response to your post and then it got deleted. foo!!
i'll try to remember what i wrote.
i hate the uncomfortable silences. the reason i went to my current T was because my pdoc said she was a "talker" and would ask me questions. she really doesnt, unless i bring up something first. so i often end up just talking about boring stuff, like my day or whatever. sometimes she picks up on subtle comments i don't realise i'm making, and we'll talk about that. sometimes the sessions are "wasted" (and i hate that, i hear the clock ticking in my head, and know that i'm spending time and money on these visits), but sometimes something comes of them.
i dunno. maybe if you have trouble talking you can talk about seemingly less important/easier stuff and see what happens.
good luck though. i know it sucks.
