What if I run out of things to talk about in therapy?

I've had about ten sessions with a therapist. He mostly just listens and occasionally offers comforting words and some suggestions. We also work together to come up with homework assignments that I'm supposed to do before the next session. So therapy has been going OK, but I now feel like I'm running out of things to talk about.

I have a bit of social anxiety, and I hate awkward silences. Also, I'm not naturally a very talkative person, and I tend to get right to the point without a lot of lead-up or tangents. I feel like during my ten sessions, I've adequately covered the issues that plague me, and some of them I've described multiple times in detail. I know it's silly, but I'm now worried that I won't have anything else to say in future sessions.

I don't want to stop therapy, as I feel like it's comforting to have someone supportive and non-judgemental who listens to me (unfortunately, I have no one else in my life I can turn to). And the homework assignments are useful. But... I'm starting to have some anxiety about this.

I have another session coming up in two days, and I'm looking for advice.
