My weakness is telling a person my concerns without making it sound like a judgement/ criticism. However, I do think there should be a way to talk to your counsellor about your concerns and your need to talk more- I interrupt my therapist.........again it might be your perception, or there might be a reason your therapist talks alot. I know my irritability as part of my illness made me less tolerant.
However, do you actually listen to what she is saying- as in is it relevant. You don't think that you are making progress but from your posts it is obvious that you are. I make a list of things that happen and email to therapist before session or bring to session prepared to talk about- so "these are some things that happened that I want to talk about".
You might need to hold the reins in your session a bit more- but appreciate that she may be talking because you haven't been voicing your needs.
