"What do you think you should do about x?"

To which I usually reply " if I knew what to do I would not be in therapy would I?"

Usually if she uses therapy speak I make a smart *** remark in response. She tries to talk like a normal person to me
Hmmmm. If I were your T, I would ask, "What options have you considered?" Another approach is, "What would you advise a friend to do in that position?"

In my opinion, a good T should be able to ask the same question in a dozen different ways. Mere repetition doesn't do any good.
