The other I've had to actually tell him to shutup at different points which I couldn't believe i'd done when I first did it, because he can talk non-stop and never leave me room to say anything. Once he talked without coming up for a breath and then asked if there was anything I wanted to say when there was a whole five minutes left I think with both it has more to do with their styles of therapy rather than if they themselves are introverted or extroverted.
so how does the type of therapy affect it? I imagine psychoanalysis would work well for introverted t's
But does that mean a t who does some types of therapy has t have a certain personality (introverted or extroverted)?
