Fairly recently I began seeing a new t. It seems she is among those who believe the more they talk the more we will absorb their wisdom and actually change! Oh no, the more a therapist can let me express myself the better off I am...

So I told her. That I need more opportunities to be heard. When she began 'talking'...I said, ''All this doesn't help me. What does help me is if I can express what is going on for me inside'

It seems she has heard me. And is talking less and listening more.

You can always ask for what you want. You may not get it, but you've got nothing to lose by asking.
