Perna I was with you, with a lot of good points, till I got to this. T2 said once that that some people she sees are court-ordered, and from one week to the next, they don't give one thought to what was talked about last time, and it seems that this can be frustrating for the therapist.

these clients may be shutting the therapy out, I admit; their approach is not quite the same as 'getting into living, and coming in spontaneous', and then again it is. I have always thought that reflecting on what was talked about is part of my end of it, and when I come in we sort of pick up where we left off. not always, of course, but mostly we do.

this may be just because I am where I am in the process; if we were doing EMDR, or something, it would be different I suppose.
