My T is really willing to follow my lead, so we've done other things besides talk...mainly play Uno (a few times) or games with pencil/paper, or doing art (drawing/coloring). We've done big parts of sessions writing back and forth to each other. Sometimes we makes lists...T's favorite was "Tree and T's Top 10 Reasons Why Therapy Sucks"

It's really okay to ask for ANYTHING in therapy, as long as you know that the answer may be "no". I went through a phase of asking for all kinds of crazy things (including "can we take your rolling chair into the parking lot and push each other back and forth" lol)..KNOWING that the answer would be "no"...I think I was working out my fear of being told "no" or getting in trouble. I've never been chided or scolded for asking ANYTHING in therapy...and a lot of times, the answer is "yes"
