Or, maybe you could ask your T to help guide you in to discussing some of the topics you think you might be avoiding.
I too am experiencing the many irons in the fire feeling, and I do wonder sometimes if I'll ever manage to fully address everything and if I'll ever be "done." It's something I've decided I need to bring up with my T.

My T said that she would look out for my avoidance, and brings these things up in session. She wouldn't allow my to keep avoiding. But I still feel like it is my responsibility that I don't avoid these things. I don't know how to keep myself from avoiding things. They are SO hard to talk about. I feel like I'm failing in T.
