If this t's technique is not working for you, can you look for a t with a different approach? I know you said this t is through your husband's work and is free, so that may not be possible, but there is bound to be more than one t with the program, right?
Yes, non-directive is exactly the word I would use to describe his approach. I'm sure that he has opinions up the ying-yang, but keeps them ALL to HIMSELF.

I could definitely see another t as there are other clinicians in the office BUT!!! the thought of going to someone else is so.....draining. KWIM? I know I should get over it and do it instead of sitting here wallowing in my misery, but ugh. I don't know. I'm afraid the new t would be worse. LOL.
