I think a problem may be for people like me (surely they exist) that I would never have gone to a t in the first place if I knew how to get to where I wanted to be without the assistance of a stranger who apparently doesn't do anything. I expect them to have a general plan on how someone can get there. As part of that plan, I expect them to be able to guide the conversation towards that goal. I do check this out in the first visit and if we are not able to negotiate this, it makes it easy to cross that person off my list of potential therapists.
