My T is client led as well. It made the beginning SO hard! I got incredibly frustrated because he wouldn't tell me what we were "supposed" to talk about. For several months we barely talked. But little by little I began finding my voice. Being in charge of what we discussed seemed less like a burden and more like my right (it is! I am paying for it!). It's been very empowering for me.

I did have to hear from T a LOT that he was okay with me being silent, that whatever I wanted to discuss was okay, etc. etc. I needed tons of reassurance.
