No, and I am glad, I am not in therapy to hear advices... Telling me what T would have done if she had faced the same situation as I did as a kid, would annoy me, because knowing what I know now, I'd have also behaved differently (at least I hope) than I did then... And telling me what T would do if she was me with respect to present situations? I'd find it weird as I do not consult my present problems with my T... I can manage present challenges, I only have problems with the past and with the effects of the past on the presence...
On the other hand, my T always tells me what she does during the session and why, and she explains every step of the therapy as detailed as I want, so that kind of "telling me what they do" helps
