I've started therapy recently with a new T, she seems very good and I'd tried a few and she's the first I've been happy with, but I find she dictates and steers the conversation a lot. My previous T and another one I saw more recently gave me a lot of space and generally remained silent when we first sat down so I could begin where I wanted. This T generally starts by saying "I was thinking about what you said last week about X..."

She is humanistic & integrative like my last Ts so I'm confused. This week I felt like I was talking about things I really didn't feel like talking about because she had chosen the topic and steered the conversation.

Is this just a different approach to therapy?
