I agree with Wikid. I'm just starting with a new therapist too and had my 4th appointment yesterday with her. I like her because yeah, she doesn't ask me to re-hash all these painful memories from the past. We're focusing on the present. What can I do now, this week, today? etc. She's a DBT therapist so she's also explaining some DBT coping techniques like breathing and mindfulness. Go slow. If your therapist is good they won't push you harder than you need to be pushed.
