GOOD for you. I think this sounds like a really important thing to go and talk about in a really honest and open way.

I know that my T has changed some things to meet my needs...but we talked a LOT about it first. He has been really willing to hear what I need, and take what he knows and how he works, and sort of mixes all of that together to tailor my therapy to me. I think some T's have an eclectic way of doing therapy that draws from many different schools of thought, so there is some flexibility there. Perhaps your T falls into this group of Ts??

I do know that some Ts are strictly psychodynamic, and have a strong belief in the "blank slate" approach. I'm sure they do this out of caring, and out of wanting to provide the best therapy they can to their clients, even though it might FEEL not-very-nice in those moments that you are longing for more.

I hope you appointment goes well, moon! Let us know how it went, okay?
