No, that would be completely counterproductive. He always emphasises the importance of communicating honestly.
T1 never directly said "don't talk about it" but he was clearly uncomfortable with my feelings for him and once blurted out "I don't believe in the concept of transference" in spite of contradicting that statement on two other occasions. He made me feel like he was saying I couldn't talk about it, and my need to talk about it is what drove me to find another therapist.
