I agree with this advice, because I think that "expecting" a T or anyone else to react in a specific way is often fruitless. If you communicate what you expect, you might get it, or you'll get an explanation why not.

With a T, I think if you just wait around for her to do what you think will be helpful to you, then you are kind of setting up a scenario where you are expecting her to "fix" you. I think that therapy works best when the client is proactive and communicates as best as they can what is one her/his mind or what one is looking for help with or whatever version of this makes sense given the reason why you showed up for session in the first place.
