Thanks Sunny and everyone.
What I am bringing into therapy is the feeling of frustration, of being trapped (maybe overwhelmed is not a good word, it has a use among Ts and that usage is not what I meant). So fine, I will take those feelings there.

I just sense among the T community - at least that part of it that puts pen to paper - that clients are not really given credit for thinking, only of being driven. I am aware that I'm often driven (that's why I am in therapy after all) but I protest that there is more than that to me.

appreciate your comments. SAWE
