Are you going to ask your T about this? I'd be interested to know what they say...
Yeah, I think therapy should feel like something more than hanging with a friend. This person is supposed to have special skills, an extraordinary ability to work with you and help you discover and live the life you want. I don't know all the details, but I think this T is falling down on the job!

Which is fine, but it feels more like updating a friend than doing anything particularly therapeutic...or that anything very vital is happening within the fifty minutes.... That's why I feel like I'm hanging out or hanging around...or hanging out with my T.
Thanks for sharing about your "let it hang out" letter....
I don't know if this can change....
