Could this maybe be a conversation you have with your therapist- explicitly asking her to help you develop some large-scale direction (i.e., goals), from which you could extrapolate direction for each session?

the thing about my T is that she urm has an agenda everytime i go into therapy so in the end i'll follow her agenda. but at times i do feel like i'm just going with the flow and i don't know why i feel so bothered about it.

Perhaps handing what you write to your T at the beginning of the session would help? I understand the mind going blank phenomenon - it happens to me often. I think it's important for your T to know that you get kind of lost and then feel frustrated.
