I didn't mean to cause concern. T's are in fact expert interviewers who do try to draw people out--and do it well. It's the basis of their profession (talk therapy). However, I've had 10 or so intake/initial meetings in the past 2 years (T's and pdocs) and have noticed myself needing to take more initiative with a couple of them. Some of that might have been poor communication between the two of us about what we were looking to get out of the meeting. One was 1 month ago with a pdoc hired by SSDI to evaluate me; he was terrible, but then, again, he was trying to do a standardized (by the government) session for bureaucratic purposes, not therapy.
Don't worry about it. You'll most likely find it to be one of the best conversations you've ever had.
Good luck.
