This idea came up in another thread- where it was offered that clients mostly don't even know themselves what are they really working on in therapy. For me - this is one of the many reasons why I do not give a therapist free rein. I think this idea is very condescending to clients.
I do know what it is I do with therapy and I absolutely do not go in to let one of those guys just mess around with me. I don't use or think of the word "working" when dealing with a therapist - but as it seems usual - I went with it.
So - do you know?
