Exactly, but it should be what the client wants to talk about, if they want to talk about personal interests and hobbies instead of their personal struggles I say let them, the Therapist gets paid the same amount no matter what. There have been times I have done it because some weeks there may not have been any major issues or blowups for myself in the past week to discuss (which did happen occasionally) so I decide to fill the time by discussing interests or hobbies. I guess for some people if nothing major happened in the last week than they can choose to cancel the session for that week and not have to pay anything that week but that it is not an option for all of us since for many of us the Therapist takes time out of his/her day specifically for you and unless you have a good reason not to attend (such as illness or a family emergency) than they will be very angry at you should you choose to cancel.
