Daisy,
My therapist has cut me off, too, usally with a polite "I'm sorry our time is up." I know it's because she has a patient waiting, and not because I've bored her silly, but my fear of abandonment can take over.
I do glance at the clock; it's on the table next to me, but faces her. She knows I do it and once in awhile says something like, we have plenty of time left.
I think therapists learned in school to keep the tissue box near the patient and the clock facing themselves.
Try to let it go, therapists are the keepers of the clock, even though I'm always told that I am in control.
Take care.
