I dont agree that its just "my" therapy. T always includes herself. She always says "we" can work on this. The therapy is the relationship between us both. I feel anyways.

I do feel, though, that it is my responsibility to choose the path or direction. When I first started to see this T, he told me that I know best what it is I need to heal, and so that is why I must be the one who chooses the direction for each session. Somehow that just seemed so true. Like, how could he know what I needed to deal with that day? He is after all not a mind reader. So over the last few months he's let me take a really circuitous path to where I needed to go. He's been really good natured about it and trusted me to know what I needed. Sometimes I wasn't clear myself on why we dealt with certain topics on certain days, but I just trusted myself to know what was best and let something inside myself tell me what we needed to deal with that day. It was almost not conscious, but a willingness on my part to listen to something within that was telling me what I needed. Rambling...
