Another thing that bothers me is she will talk about an issue for a while and then it's like she runs out of things to say. There will be an uncomfortable silence and she will be like "so what else do we need to talk about today?" Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like the therapist should be able to keep things running smoothly. I am a very active participator in my sessions.

This happens in my sessions too sometimes. Sometimes it's me that just runs out of a steam on a particular subject, and sometimes it's him. I think it's normal. If your T doesn't seem to have more to say on a particular subject, and you're not done with it yet, go ahead and ask some questions. Better to have a T stop when they can't think of anything more to say than just babble on w/o really saying anything. My T has done that once or twice and it's really kind of embarrassing. It's so obvious he has nothing more to say. So stop talking, already!
