Just because a client avoids questions doesn't mean they aren't there to work. There are lots of LEGITIMATE reasons why people have difficulty engaging in therapy. Your therapist should be there to support you, not give an excuse why their time is more important during a time when YOU are paying THEM. Complete and utter bull.

I agree! I often have a hard time talking, and my T has never just started working just because I wasn't talking. She knows that it's hard for me to talk and bring stuff up---which now that I am thinking about it the one time I finally do talk I am interrupted. oh well.
Regardless of the fact that she said it's also her time--she/he IS getting paid for that 50 min so she should do whatever she can to help you talk.
If a therapist did that to me, I would probably leave. I would need someone who is going to help me get the strength to say what I need to say, or help me find the words (sometimes I have the feeling but not the words to explain it).
