uhhh i just switch to default techtnology filler talk when there is silence....i doubt him listening to me lammenting 60min about the pros and cons of different types of signal modulation gets me or him anywhere but at least he gets paid for listening

You might need a new therapist, which is okay. I haven't been to therapy in over a decade, but when I used to go, I used to do things like this, and my therapist would interrupt and say "it sounds like you're deflecting, do you think there's a reason for that?" and try to get me to go in a different direction.

Just some unsolicited advice, have a good day xo
