I see the therapeutic relationship as an avenue towards learning how to have a healthy relationship. For me, the relationship IS the work.
But as I see it - it is your therapy - do what works for you to get what you want out of the process.

Happiness cannot be found
through great effort and willpower,
but is already present,
in open relaxation and letting go.
Don't strain yourself,
there is nothing to do or undo.
Whatever momentarily arises
in the body-mind
Has no real importance at all,
has little reality whatsoever.
Don't believe in the reality
of good and bad experiences;
they are today's ephemeral weather,
like rainbows in the sky.
~Venerable Lama Gendun Rinpoche~
