I keep wondering when she's going to call me on it, but she doesn't. does anyone else do this "deflecting" thing? Maybe everyone does it? and how does T react?

Haha!
Yes, I do this. He knows I do this. Eventually he redirects but he also sees this as a way of building trust and therapeutic bonding if that makes sense.
I have anxiety over certain things, and that is absolutely NORMAL he says. On one subject in particular, he told me he won't pester me on it we'll discuss it in due time. Your T is probably very aware of this, and is quite patient like mine is. There is no hurry.
When you are ready, you will discuss it, and it will be okay.
