My first thought is that there is no right or wrong in therapy, but of course there is, as far as therapist's go. Not that anything you wrote made me think your therapist is doing anything "wrong." It strikes me that she might be very CBT oriented, checking on your thoughts about events, making sure distortions don't linger and that you don't ruminate about things. This way of working can feel very surfacy...but it isn't the orientation to do deep work, like psychotherapy. And, if it IS short term work, then I'm fairly certain that she won't dive deep. If you want to keep talking about something, you'll have to keep bringing it up. As always, if it bothers you, you should ask her.
