The presenting problem isn't always the main issue. A good T can, after a few sessions, usually figure this out

Sky, that is exactly what happened with me! There I was in session #1 with the new T, I told him the problem I was there to work on, which is his specialty, and he suggested, after listening to me for an hour, the reason I couldn't tackle this problem was because I was stuck on things from my past and then gave details, based on just one conversation. He was so insightful (my previous T had never figured this out). What he suggested totally resonated with me and I knew it was the truth. I am so glad he shared that with me up front so we could get down to work together. His insight really gave me hope and was hugely influential in my deciding to come back to him for subsequent sessions. If he had not shared his insight, maybe I wouldn't have returned. [/shudder]
