How much does your T direct sessions vs. you?

I always lead

He forces me to lead even when I don't want to. But sometimes I'll bring something up and he'll want to run with it, but I wouldn't want to discuss it further. For example, a couple weeks ago, I brought up the false missile alert that was sent in Hawaii but only because I had just been reading about it before the session. He wanted to talk about my "feelings" about it, but for me that topic was just random small talk. So I told him, "no, I don't actually want to talk about that. Let's change the subject."
