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.

I see it as not allow in that I would continue to talk about what I wanted regardless of the therapist saying not to do so because of time or whatever. I am capable of handling myself and willing to take the responsibility of time running out.
