SAWE, how did it work with your previous therapist? Did you choose the topics or did she? I can see if you were used to the T being the driver for the last couple of years of therapy, it would be very disconcerting to suddenly be expected to lead the show! You can always just get it a try, and let her know if you're floundering and need help. If you try for a while and then stumble, you can throw your T comments like, "I can't do this, it's too hard!" and they will explore that, give additional help, etc. You aren't alone in this. It's you and your T together.
