Gosh, that sounds extremely frustrating.
One thing occurred to me... do you think it might go better if she made fewer notes? I know all Ts are different; my therapist never made notes during the session (I assume he made notes afterwards). And I would have found it very distracting; I would have felt like I was dictating to him or something. If someone is making lots of notes, you don't have their full attention and you don't have as much eye contact. Plus, if you're going around in circles you're probably repeating stuff she already has in her notes.
If you think that would help, maybe you can persuade her to put her notebook down for a session and see how it goes.
