I can think of only two times he's given me advice. The first time he prefaced it with, "Listen, I try to never advise you on what to do, but in this situation I'm strongly urging you..."

And then the second time was just a few sessions ago when he blurted out,"I think you should deffinitely do that." In that case I think he just wasn't able to censor his reaction quick enough because I'd suggested doing something that would be social and that's a thing I rarely volunteer to do.

Edited to add, that I do wish he would give me more advice, but I also know that a weakness I have is relying on others telling me what to do. So I'm sure he is aware of this and is trying to teach me self-direction.
