In my opinion you should go with where you are at now. I have had the same problem. I started to do past work, and then something huge came up in the present that needed to be dealt with, and so we shifted gears. Was okay with T. Then we got back to past stuff, and another time I just didn't feel like I wanted to go there that day, the time I wouldn't tell him he had been cheating me out of time. Therapy is like that. It's not a linear process.
This week, I want to tell my T to go to hell. I am not sure why. But there it is. Maybe it has to do with past stuff; who knows; he seems to find these links all over the place, and I am just annoyed with the once per week for last week and this week due to the holidays. And I guess I am upset with how come sessions are 45 minutes. Bah humbug. And, I don't feel that good about last week and what I said, and he said nothing. I don't need that. He just did not seem to be there with me last week, and I don't know why. H also made his cryptic comment about my work at Menninger's, suggeseting that maybe I wanted to show off. So, screw I say.
My point is that this is what happens with therapy. What is important is to do deal with what might be very pressing. That is not avoiding. The other stuff won't go away, but life does go on too, and things come up related to past sessions and things in ones life at the time. Hope this helps.
