seriously, I think most of the time the reason I do it is to vent my frustrations and something other than a wall or a door.
I honestly don't know. their's still time to think about it though

Perhaps you need to tweak your perception or re-evaluate your reasons for attending therapy....
I wrote a list of goals I had in mind when starting and my T and I worked on a time frame for each topic.
(Of course crisis affects the game plan, can't account and prepare for everything, with BP and BPD being so unpredictable.)
In fact I've never walked into a Ts office without a game plan, usually it throws them off guard initially, but they get on board once the shock wears off that a patient has a functional brain, is well versed, has a plan and even a type of therapy in mind... I find random ramblings and navigating the dark to be huge time wasters for me, and personally I just can't stand them.
I also set ground rules, but that's just the control freak obsessed with the steering wheel in me rearing her remote control shaped head.
It helped focus my therapy and provide us with direction as I have a journal and friends I can complain to. I need therapy to provide ways to manage, learn and move forward on my MH journey...
Lockdown didn't really affect my sessions much, only in the beginning, we have mask to mask sessions now.
