I'm mulling over the meaning of the word "advice". Does he tell me what to do? No. Does he offer suggestions? Yes. Does he give opinions? Yes. But mostly we have discussions, and he tries to get me to come up with my own solutions.

It's funny .... the way this question is worded makes me feel resistant. I picture a T sitting there giving advice (lecturing?) like a stern, controlling parent. Hmmm. I would definitely not like it if my T was that way. He could lecture all he wanted, but I'd do what I want to do. I don't really have a sense that he "gives advice".

Interesting question. Thanks for this thread!
