I always think that if you can't talk about the issues, talking about the process can be very helpful. What if you told her what you said here?
I likely have been in that situation, and my therapist likely allows me to choose what to talk about. I remember him calling me once on changing the subject, but that was one time when what I was saying was really really on target, and he was missing the connection.
I know that our sessions *can* turn into that, and I tend to keep an eye on it. More than he does really, because he's really into client directed sessions.
But definitely if I notice a pattern in myself, I mention it to him. It seems to be very helpful for me.
