The only thing I am going to say thus far is:

If you do not feel that your therapist's office is a safe place, then you are probably seeing the wrong therapist. It should be a place where you can discuss ANYTHING, no matter how uncomfortable it may be. I am not saying it is easy, it usually isn't but in the end, it should feel as if it was worth it. My therapist has done an amazing job at creating a safe place for me, which is noteworthy: I don't feel safe too many places, or with too many people.

That being said: my therapist knows those days when I just need to 'chat' for lack of a better word; those days when I need her to lead the session; those days where my control freak self needs to do almost all of the talking; those days when I need her to call me out on something, and those days when I just need a plain ole' kick in the butt. No to mention so many scenarios I am probably leaving out. I adore her, and have a great deal of respect for her.
