My T wants me to take the lead, because it's my therapy. We're there to work on MY goals and address what's important to me, not her. She certainly helps guide me, but especially since I'm seeking her approval so much, she encourages me to take the reins rather than nod along with her agenda. Every so often, we even reevaluate my goals to make sure we're both on the same page. Sometimes it's funny, because T is a talker and she has to remind herself to step back and let me take the lead.
