Funny Dinah because it has been my opposite experience. I'M the one who talks about something and then moves on. HE brings things back up and wants to check in or go over them again. When I say things like "we've been over this" he gives me the "therapy is a spiral" speech about we have to keep going around and around stuff, looking at it in different ways.
He also commented very recently that I still don't tell him "a lot" of stuff. I generalize so much of it. Like "bad day, work stress" I always think he is going to get bored of it or it will just be me complaining. So now he directly asks me to "share my schedule" so he can keep up with my life and know where the stressful spots might be.
I don't dare give him a cup of ideas! (OOH, unless I give him a cup of EASY topics...hmmmm)
I'm sorry you didn't have a great session. But as usual you find something useful in it and learn from it. I continue to be impressed with your therapy resilience.
