A long time ago when I saw t2, I was just barely out of college at the time, my Mom came to one appointment, I had invited her hoping to talk about an extremely hurtful thing she had done. It did NOT go well. Not only was I never able to talk about what I wanted to talk about, but all she did was spout off at the t about how righteous she was.

Sigh. My current t, stated early on that it is INDIVIDUAL therapy and she does not want anyone else in the room. I loved that, of course.
