Yes. I asked her to be tougher on me, to not let me avoid her gaze too much and to push me more to answer her questions (she already said I couldn't say "I don't know" w/o giving it serious thought, but I wanted her to be stricter about it). I don't always like being challenged, but I know it's what helped me grow the most. I think she took my request to heart, but mostly she said that I should be tougher on myself- not to beat myself up or anything, but to not give her any of my crap (therapy-interfering behaviors). When I would shut down in session, i was just holdign myself back and so I really learned to pull myself out of it and to keep it from escalating in the first place.
