Thers no point in forcing the client to talk about someyhing. I've gone yrs between talking about something and then revisiting.
Therapy is spiral
Why don't you talk about it when T says "what do you want to talk about"
In not sure I understand why you know what you want to talk about, unyet feel you want T to begin talking about it? Is it reassurance they T is really there with you?
I can't say whether your T is skilled or not. I can only say that from my experience, T seldom brings anything up. The ball being in my court can feel so frustrating. But T knows, unless I'm ready, I mean really ready, then not much deep work will come from the topic of its raised by her rather than by me and my unconscious.
Still, none of this is wasted. Still good material to work with.
