Yes I agree and I think that is what a good therapist would do. The point is to get to the bottom of what happened between the client and T and resolve it. A T would learn an awful lot from these interactions since most of the time it's the Ts behavior that triggered the reaction in the first place. As for the client that went on for a year complaining about the same thing and nothing else - I'd hope they did get to the bottom of the issue and also find something else to focus on and talk about. If not, a lot of Ts would eventually either terminate or find something else to think about during those sessions so they could stay awake.
