Here's why I ask...


When I entered therapy, I had specific issues I wanted to work on, and specific goals I wanted to meet (eg. Emotional dysregulation / not cause chaos within my primary relationships)


This list made it easy for the T and myself to communicate as we had a clear starting point, as well as objective.


Funny enough, free flow therapy happened quite naturally, as we were sinking our teeth into my goals.


Ps. I too sit there with my mouth full of teeth at times, but I've been lucky enough to have therapists who are/ were good at probing, so it doesn't last too long.


Honestly, I started therapy because my attorney told me to for social security. But my pdoc was also pushing for it. I know I NEED it but I feel like I went in for the wrong reasons because it wasn't my idea.
