Ha, I've never had a T or a P ask me that. It was obvious I'm depressed, and have high anxiety, but the real focus is why. My T is trying to figure out where my high anxiety is coming from and how my depression is tied to it. That appears to be driving my obsessive thoughts. It's very complex how the mind is conducting and feeding the two back and forth.

It's just not that simple for everyone.

I will say a very good T really pushed me on the last session, got me pissed off and I told her to ****ing stop it. But later it made me think a certain way, and that push did help. Not saying yours will help, especially since it was your first visit
