Wishingstar, my take in this is is a little different. I think, IMHO, that this is maybe your way to keep her at bay. Not to go deep. Initially. And now when things are bad and you need to you are unable. Maybe at first it was ok, you didn't really want to go deeper and she felt it recognized and went along. Not that things have changed you need to open the door.
My T will do this too if I change the subject to say my son or daughter or H. She won't go back to the deeper subject unless I change it. Then bam we go deep. Because in therapy sometimes you need lighter sessions.
But all you seem to be having are lighter sessions. She has in my opinion let it go too long. Maybe she doesn't realized that you deeper issues than you do. You may seem to have it all together or she may think you aren't ready.
So I would either tell face to face or my preferred method email. Do whatever you are comfortable with. Write it down and give it too her. Ihave done that too.
I don't think changing is the solution. too much to retell. Just tell her what you need and hopefully she will surprise you.
Good luck and let us know.
