Sometimes a little push can be just what you need, but I wouldn't be comfortable with continuously pushing. I don't know if it's normal, I've only had one T. He wasn't pushy. Even if I needed a push, he brought it up as a suggestion. "Hey Coco, why don't you try it this way?" or something like that. If I didn't like the idea, we'd talk about it to discover why I didn't like it. Sometimes talking about it helped me get more comfortable with the suggestion and eventually trying it. Sometimes it lead to another idea that suited me better.
