I find this really interesting because sometimes when I try and be a 'good' client then things backfire. I push myself to do too much before I am ready and can end up in a worse state. Mine rarely sets homework and never tells me what to do. She encourages me to be interested in what is there so if I sit there apathetically or I don't engage that's fine with her but she encourages me to get interested in why I am behaving like that. Equally if I am trying to be'good' she would want to get interested in that. I too have often said I don't want to waste time I want to get the most from every minute but I am encouraged that to do that I need to really be present, be honest and be prepared to explore whatever arises. Not sure I've explained this very well, but I know that for me this approach has been the most beneficial and went I learnt not to push myself too hard things improved.
