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?

hi Eleny ,
my therapist does that too . she noticed when I don't stay on track with the subject that we are talking about in counseling she reminds me to come back to subject and stay on track . when she notice something that im talking about in counseling that interest her , she picks up and tell me to focus on the subject and don't try to avoid it .when I avoid the subject by going off topic she tells me to get back on track .
