My t brings up topics. Unlike most t's who wait for me to direct the session, he keeps the conversation going. He's very talkative. It has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is a lot more of his interpretation of things gets into the session, where if I talk more, it will be my interpretation.

The advantage is it forces me to be genuinely in the moment and not pausing to plan what I want to say ahead and getting lost in my head like I usually am. So I guess I'm saying it's not always a bad thing for t's to steer you in a direction. If you're sure your t won't do it though, idk. I guess the way my t does it, the topics he brings up are fairly general things that might apply to anyone, or they're questions so he's not usually imposing a way of looking at things on me too much.
