I remember when you posted about your T being a blank slate several months ago - I think it was you. And I think I responded that my T was really blank for the first four months or so, taking notes, watching me, etc., but not saying anything. Now, T responds as in a typical conversation between two people, but always focusing on the therapy topic.

I'm not sure, now, if maybe this is your T's therapeutic style...? I believe in giving Ts a chance to reveal their style before jumping ship, but there's a point where the client either needs to address their feelings about how the blank slate effects them to the T, or decide to seek another T. Do you think you can bring the topic up with your T? If you believe it's not helpful for you, I would tell her. Perhaps she doesn't realize she's coming across like that and thinks she's giving you space to express yourself.

I wish you luck deciding what you can/want to do. Feeling safe, close to your T, trusting in the therapy relationship is what heals. You deserve that.
