From reading some of your other posts, I gather that you're in psychodynamic psychotherapy. There isn't a lot of therapist direction or teaching of "techniques" from many therapists who are trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy. It's more about helping you see yourself clearly by allowing you the space to talk about yourself and how you view your world. It allows you to begin to recognize and change how you interact with yourself and the world around you through the free flow of thoughts and ideas. It isn't about lecturing or telling you what you appear to be doing internally or externally, although over time, as you work together and you gain ego strength, the T will confront more and use interpretation to challenge you about your thoughts and behaviors.

It's more of a conversation and self-examination of yourself with the assistance and support of your T. If you're looking for ways or "techniques" to change how you think about yourself or how someone else, the T in this case, sees or views your style of interacting with others (in other words, very behaviorally focused), you might want to give CBT a whirl . . . . although from your posts, I gather that you aren't interested in that more structured/technique orientated form of therapy.
