What do you talk about during hard times and you're sick of talking?

I've wondered what other people do. I meet once a week with my T. We had intense sessions past couple weeks talking about something I'm going through currently but I don't feel like she can totally understands my experience. I can tell her this, thats fine, but I personally want to leave it alone for a session while I make sense of it myself. I really just want to give a 5 minute reflection of all this and move on to something easier. Quite clearly avoiding the big deal, but taking care of myself. What do you guys talk about if/when you've experienced this?

I understand what you're feeling, and I often feel like that myself. When I want to avoid a certain subject, I just try talking about something easier, something that has nothing to do with it. For instance, I talk about my studies. He knows what I'm doing most of the time, he knows I'm avoiding another subject but he just goes with it until I decide to talk about it again. Sometimes however, I'm not even able to do that, so I just stay silent, which is awful.
I hope things will get better for you.

Sometimes we have a session where we just play a game or something. Sometimes we have done a jigsaw or used atones to play with. We work 'creatively' sometimes not using words at all.

Haven't done so for a while now it feels like but it can help and I think we are due a session like that ourselves.

We just had a lighter session talking some about movies , but with therapy themes.

I'm kind of feeling like this at the moment. I'm tempted to just go to session next week and show my T photos of my cat or something dumb like that haha. My T has said before that I can talk about "literally anything I want" but I probably won't do that

My T and I never chit-chat. If I don't want to talk about something, for whatever reason, I tell her. She'll either stop or ask a few questions before stopping. Then we talk about some other issue. I tend to talk about our relationship/termination when I don't want to talk about anything else.

I always feel like speaking. It's just a matter of what the content is. When I try to avoid a subject I then ramble on about something else that is bothering me. It might seem insignificant or trivial to someone else but I feel the need to get it out there while gathering my thoughts about whatever I'm trying to avoid. Usually my avoidance is due to a topic that I can't discuss with T because of judgment or embarrassment.
