Yeah, I agree! My T let me talk and talk and talk, most “rubbish” , in my first year or two.

It’s a very fine balance. There is a differences between push and trying to control and steer the client because of the T´s own frustrations and perhaps unconscious motives.

My experience though, is that when it feels too good, nothing happens – that’s why it feels so good, nothing stirs up. I´m not into the "No pain, No gain" but developmental mourning doesn’t feels good at all, working through the abandonment depression feels like h***, but it will do good in the end.
