I agree that none of this is attacking. I've certainly done this with my T. As he would say, it's my session--if I don't think something is important or what I want to focus on right then--whether it's something I brought up or he did--then I should say so. And I've learned it's best to tell him if I feel he's being critical. He might say it's not what he intended or that I heard him wrong, but it helps to talk about it. From your earlier comment, I agree that your T's comment about clock-watching sounded critical. I'm also sort of a clock-watcher, but it's to make sure I don't wait too long to bring up a topic I want to discuss. Or, if I know there's only 10 minutes left, to consider holding off on something that would likely take longer to discuss. (Of course, I still end up bringing things up too close to the end--sometimes I don't realize they're a big or sensitive topic till I mention them or until T responds--but he wouldn't say I did that on purpose, I don't think.)

ETA: I hesitated to comment on this thread before because I haven't done psychoanalysis, but this sounds to me more like a conflict with your T than a technique.
