I don't think it's realistic to expect a T to state specifics. I mean, in psychology, there are no tangibles per se. You (general you) can't measure nor quantify 'identifiables' or the mechanics of what goes on in one's heads.

Then, again, it depends on what is meant by 'specifics': "When will I be better / see progress" etc. really can't be stated. But identifying steps to work towards a particular area could be stated (with alternatives, if need be).

It is also contingent on one's approach. CBT Ts work more in terms of structure and concrete goals but then again, progress can't really be measured or predicted. All clients aren't robots where you apply a formula (or technique), and they'd react mechanically. Individual differences come into play. Not to mention life's curveballs which can send us off on a spin.
