Dis, my therapist never tells me what to do. Maybe that was part of the problem with yours? He sometimes suggests books to read and tells me why he thinks I will find them helpful. Or he gives examples of how others have dealt with problems similar to mine. Or sometimes he makes indirect comments and I am atuned enough to him that I can "get his message." And other times, he says things that plant seeds in my brain but he doesn't dwell on them. It's up to me to help them sprout.
