Oh yeah. That's very unhelpful. I had a therapist like that too. Very pleasant but really it never got past chit chat. I once told her I was trying to get organized and she told me a long story about sorting through her children's clothes to get rid of what they'd outgrown. A long story. Long. And partway through I thought, crap this is gonna set me back $120.
I guess now that you bring this up I'm thinking that there's a difference between not being specifically goal-oriented and truly having no point. If there's really no point it feels like a waste of time. My current therapy is not very goal oriented but I've only very rarely felt that a session was a waste of time.
