T, I think you're compassionate, but you don't know how to talk to someone who is spilling their guts out, who wants to have their feelings validated with original feedback.

"Yeah, that sounds hard." / "Depression is brutal." Other generic responses.

I need more than this. I already know these things. I get more therapy out of my 30 minute psychiatrist sessions, it's like a psychiatrist really listens hard to diagnose, and probes and asks questions, while you just wait for me to talk. T, the first words you said to me when I entered your office were "So, why are you here?" And I think it's time I meet somebody else.
