I couldn't agree more. They do call it "talk" therapy for a reason. We do the talking . I think being attuned to when or when not to talk is an important skill in a t. Sometimes I feel so messed up in my sessions it's already hard enough to get out my feelings. If my t kept talking when I needed to I would feel what I needed to say was no longer important. I'd probably want to give up and leave if it kept happening...I have enough problems to deal with than to make my t listen to me. It's completely counterproductive...or at least in my case I think it would be.
