I find that I make notes daily on what I'll cover in t session each week. And everyday it changes a bit. I try to list and prioritize. I try to plan what I think is most important.

I want my T to take over. I want her to tell me what to cover and what's important. One time I thought I wouldn't begin and let her begin. Then she asks a simple question and I'm off and running blabbing away. I am self-propelled.

But I don't know if I'm doing it right. I need some guidance. I want to know what I should be talking about. I want to know if this is the way therapy works. I want to know if I'm getting closer to my goal. I want to know what progress looks like. I want to know if I'm wasting my time. I want to know exactly what my problem is. I want to know what the solution is. I want to know what the 'process' is.

Those of you who have defined diagnoses, maybe have it a little easier. You know if you have social anxiety, that when you're able to meet and greet easier, then you've made progress. And for others, you may see improvement in your reactions to triggers. But, for me, I don't even know what's wrong with me. That is why I began therapy. 2 of the 3 goals was 'find out what's wrong' and 'fix it'.

So, does anyone else plan their sessions in detail? Do your T's guide you? What overt help do they offer?
