I voted, OTHER, because my therapist doesn't do this, but I'd be ticked if she did try something like that. I get to decide what I want to discuss and when I want to discuss it. I have no problem saying, "No, that's not something I want to explore."
I don't see how I could "not allow it" if she did do it, other than say, "I don't like it when you try to lecture me or tell me what to do." If she continued to do it, then I'd just find another therapist. I don't mind my therapist pointing out when I'm not considering all the options; I like that because sometimes I make snap decisions and need to consider all possible options (I'm getting better at that). But I don't want any therapist telling me what SHE thinks I should do. That gets to be my decision.
