Your answer kind of made me smile - when things get uncomfortable, I want to switch subjects too. But therapy is about finding out why you feel uncomfortable and how those feelings influence your choices and behavior. If you avoid things life-long that are uncomfortable, you might be missing something really great. Who knows?
So I think it is her job to try and take you in a little deeper, for a little longer, if you can tolerate it. I think the fact that the tapes don't ask questions and don't require explanations from you might be what you find more comfortable here.
Therapy is hard work. I wish it wasn't so. And it often makes us feel worse before we feel better. Kind of like cleaning house - we pull everything apart so we can clean under the rug and vacuum under the cushions - but in the middle of it, the room looks worse than when we started!
