That reminds me of what T said about how next time he wants us to bring poetry. He has never been so directive and told me what we would do in the next session! It was always up to me. I like how he stepped in and suggested this. I like letting him have the idea for a change. I always had to lead because it was about healing and only I know what I need to heal. But if the focus is not so much on healing, but on growth, then it makes sense that I wouldn't always have to lead. It is a whole new way of looking at therapy--healing will not drive everything. I am looking forward to our next session.
