Usually my T checks in every few sessions to see if their is anything else I'd like to focus on. We're doing trauma work right now and taking it very slow so sometimes we just spend a session or two chit chatting about things that aren't too heavy and allow me to relax a little. I've never asked her what needs to be done, she's always asked me and I prefer someone else take the lead so I typically follow her suggestions. I have a hard time taking charge and asserting myself though..
