Session ended earlier than normal or was just bad timing?
I agree -- who cares who has control of the session as long as the issue is resolved. Typically in therapy at the start the therapist has to follow the client a bit to gain rapport and have a good idea of the issues. Then the therapist has pieces of "control" to guide the session in the direction the client has indicated they want. Then the control is always supposed to go back to the client. That's a good thing, because the client in the end is the one who has the answers.
I wonder about talking about this piece of it. Saying "Everytime I get stuck, and take control, T's terminate me. Is that going to be the case here?"
