I am the consummate non-talker. I never confront, always am polite, and rely on T to shape the conversation. But once I did text (or email...can't remember) "this sux, nothing is working, I feel stuck". that brought about a session I lovingly refer to as "Super T". He went over therapy with me point by point...is this working, how about that, was this ok, when have you felt the most connection...etc.

Of course you have to remember that I got frustrated with him and bailed when I felt he got too close. So my advice isn't that reliable.
