I do the same thing sunrise does....just say "I don't want to talk about this anymore!!!". I haven't been in therapy long enough to have a smoother way of handling it yet.

I think your T would want you to tell her what your needs are. YOU are paying for therapy, and it must feel frustrating to not be able to talk about the things YOU feel like you need to talk about.

Even though asking to have my needs met in real life is something I haven't learned to do (yet?!), I'm learning to do it in T. I've actually gone as far as telling my T "look, I'm paying you $90 an hour and I think you should tell me whatever I want to hear!!" (lol - I was angry at the time that I didn't feel like I was getting enough reassurance. THAT was really out of character for me, but it was STILL OKAY)

Maybe this will be a chance for you to take that risk....say what you're needing....and for you to find out that it really is okay. Because it is.
