Basically, I'm relatively new to therapy compared to a lot of you guys. I feel that maybe I'm not making the most out of my time during therapeutic sessions. I mean, I used to go to sessions and babble about my day, until I realized what I was doing and realized that I wasn't getting anything useful out of it. I wasn't asking the right questions or wasn't asking questions at all. Didn't get much support either.
What is your best piece of advice when it comes to therapy?

My best advice is to be honest. It's impossible for the T to help someone who lies to them. On the other hand, it's OK not to disclose things until you're ready but definitely don't outright lie about anything. It's fine to say, "I'm not ready to talk about that..."
Hope that helps
