Hi all, I've been toying with this question a lot. Sometimes when I go in it seems like my T has this grand outline for our entire session and just jumps right in without even asking me my input (which has generally been fine but I just never know what's coming). Other times it seems like he has absolutely no set plan (also fine) and more looks to me to lead the way.

So, I was wondering, who generally guides the discussions at your appointment, you or T? Or does it all just kind of flow and you're not really sure.

I'm particularly asking now because while T's somewhat haphazard method has generally worked for me and always results in good sessions, lately there have been more specific things about my past that I want to bring up that therapy has kind of caused me to reflect on, and I'm not sure if/when I should, as I don't want to interfere with the natural process of therapy/T's plan either.

Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Thanks!
