He also liked to share his own experiences as they related to mine and I loved that but sometimes it would take too much space. I had to remind him of this quite a few times and in the end just decided not to engage at all and keep the focus on what I was paying him for.
I know i need to speak up when it comes to my therapist.i don't want to get rid of her.but i find speaking up for myself hard.im sure she wouldnt get mad if i told her what was on my mind.i just am not able to cause the words dont come easily.
