McKell,
I also have difficulty sometimes going to session -- I sometimes plan to say a bunch of things but end up talking about something totally different.

Have you told your T how you feel about her frequently injecting the abuse issue into the conversation? I don't know, maybe she is doing it for a purpose or maybe it is just something she says without realizing she's doing it so often. I say this because I often try to figure out why my T is doing certain things and when I ask him, sometimes he is doing it for a reason but sometimes it's just something he says. I hope that makes sense, LOL.

In fact I am proud of myself for going with the flow today.

This is a good point you bring up. Sometimes it is so anxiety-producing to just go with the flow. Congrats on your accomplishment
