I thought "huh?" when I first saw your question. Then,lol, I realized my answer is "not as much by a long shot as my therapist would like to give." I probably drive her crazy, but she is actually pretty nondirective I would think compared to other therapists I have heard about. This doesn't change that we have some fundamental differences. She is actually great, but I think I will be needing a change. She is having a lot of personal problems and many of our sessions recently have been cut short by phone calls she gets, and family emergencies, so I have been thinking about getting someone else. I understand that she is a person with a life but I need someone right now as my life is in crisis and she cannot be there. I had been going to therapy despite not being in crisis for quite awhile. I decided I would not wait until the trap door sprang. Well things went pretty good for about a year and my mother was suddenly hospitalized and I won't go into the details again here, but a crisis that ended badly evolved. I do have to find someone at this very critical time of my life.

Good luck with your quest.
