I usually don't feel any kind of power either way. I only see t about once a month now. I call or text her asking what's her openings. She gives me options and I choose one. If I don't call for too long she calls to see if I am ok.

But then again i
worried she would disapprove of my engagement so in that sense she has more power as she wouldn't worry if I disapprove of anything. But I also worry if others disapprove of me, not just t. But also that's the only topic i needed her approval as its what I am in therapy for (men and my finances ). Other topics I don't consult her on, I just share with her

I overall don't feel power play or mind games take place. I have no time for this and would be gone. I feel about t similar I feel about other trusted professionals I see ( like my ob/gyn or my financial advisor), I trust their knowledge and value their opinion but I choose what to consult them about and they don't have power over me.
