Mine used to ask me how I was, and I'd start talking about what was on my mind. She'd ask me challenging questions to make me think more and see a different perspective.
I think I would have liked more out of therapy, but I don't know what.
I eventually asked her for homework - a comment that would challenge and make me think. I'd mail her during the week about what I was feeling. She wouldn't reply (I was ok with that) but it gave us a spring-board for the next session

I wonder if I would have liked to do different types of therapy - hypnotherapy, music therapy, EDMR...
