I can understand how this happens. We make a comment and T goes from there and next thing we are talking about something that I don't want to spend that much time on, but maybe there is more there to explore than what I think, idk.

It was really hard, but became easier with practice, to just be direct and say "I don't want to talk about that anymore. I want to change the subject." Of course she likes that I can now do that, because it means I have found 'more' of my own voice.

I have been really disappointed when we spend too much time or even a whole session on something that I end up saying that I didn't want to talk about. Thing is, I was the one who brought it up in the first place. I think sometimes it isn't even about having talked about something for a whole session that I didn't want to spend that much time on. Usually that topic is work relationships.
I think it's about more, about wanting the session to be more intimate, more about the therapy relationship. Somehow, I end up feeling 'left out', and I have a "Wait, what about MEEE??!" response.

Anyway, it is frustrating, and really doesn't feel good at all to leave a session feeling disappointed.
