Hi Daisy,
Asking her to do the talking doesn't work with my therapist. What she says is "you're in control of what we talk about, not me." Then we play stare down until I crack.
I don't think your therapist is getting tired of your sadness. If anything he feels bad that he can't help you feel better quicker.
My therapist keeps reminding me that therapy is a slow, painful process: deep emotional wounds take a long time to heal. Your therapist probably feels the same way.
Try to keep talking about the painful things, I know who am I to give advice, I play stare down more than I talk.
