I would not respond well to the "blank slate" method of therapy. I would think that therapy being about you would also include the way you interact with other human beings and all of the variables which come from that. So much of the learning about yourself, to me, seems about looking at your patterns of relating with others. For someone like me that would be best learned on a two-way street because that is more representative of reality. I understand the concept and its purpose, by the distance would not encourage me to feel trust in the T. It would not encourage me to be open with the T either. Everyone's therapy is different, though, and some might prefer this kind of therapy. I think it's about finding what works best for you.
