My T will ask questions that require more than a yes or no answer - and then have a back up question to go along with that one, and so on. So, in order to get me started, she does generally ask, not about trauma, but about "what is your experience with..."

Lately though, i've had diarrhea of the mouth - and its been more of me saying "...can I tell you something??" And her saying, "You can tell me anything you want, whenever you want."
