I would love to hear from you LLT and how things went. I wish you would get angry for somebody to treat you like this. You certainly deserve better and I hope you will know that some day soon.
I can understand how Amandalouise's Ts approach could be helpful to SOME for example me. If I spend my session not talking just sitting there and T would sit too and just stare at me that kinda equals a nightmare for me. I would feel so uncomfortable and nervous also guilty for wasting my Ts time and potential. I would probably cut the session short and not come back. It would take a lot of pressure and guilt away from me if my T would actually do something useful with the time when I can't. So I guess it is one of these things that has to fit the client. I hope Ts are able to judge when to sit with client and when not, when to push a little with questions and when just let it happen. Just not apply it to all as general rule which is bad anyway.
