Not disjointed at all...and certainly not grumbling! I think that you are in a difficult place and it is hard to see what good therapy is doing. I've been there, actually I go there a lot! I think it is important to at least process with your Therapist your perspective on CHOOSING to leave therapy, at least for now.
And I agree, sometimes it can be a positive thing to make a change. But if you have things to say, things to work out, but just can't get them out, I don't think you are done yet. I write a lot of stuff down. In fact, it is truly one of my greatest forms of expression. Most of it I can then say to my Therapist but some of it I haven't been able to, and have given him the writings instead. It does sound like you are struggling internally with what you want to say but your internal guard won't let you.
How long have you been trying to get it out? I don't know if it helps you to know it took me months and months and I only do a little at a time.
I hope you can work through it with your therapist and make a decision together.
