My T and I have discussed the point pbutton brings up -- I find it humiliating that I have to KEEP talking about the same thing. Once I have mentioned something once, I tend to never bring it up again. He assures me that repetition in therapy is totally necessary, and has asked me if it is okay for him to bring up subjects again. I said it was. He will on occasion try to bring up subjects, particularly those he knows I will avoid whenever possible. I know I need to address these things, but cannot manage to force myself to bring up the topic.

Perhaps it would be helpful to just say to your T that you need help getting back to certain topics again. Or that you feel uncomfortable bringing up a topic the second time.
