That has been my general experience in therapy as well. We talk endlessly about our relationship and seemingly random stuff without heads on addressing anything in my external life. My T knows very little about my external life because I just don't tell him anything what's going on there. And yet I can see things changing in my external life without much conscious effort.
Somehow this process associates to me to a set of balloons. Like you blow one balloon and somehow another balloon somewhere else is almost like magically blown as well, without anyone really explicitly doing it.
