Thanks all for your valuable input!
As far as the poem, he doesn't seem to be the creative type. He assigned the typical new T homework "List goals that you wish to attain in therapy". My therapy, at this point in time, (heck for the past 10 years) is not goal specific oriented. I blab about whatever, whenever, and then there are those times when I stare into space for 45 minutes.
I have made him VERY aware that I do NOT have specific goals, and then he ho hummed "Well, I have found that the TYPICAL client finds it very useful,,,,blah blah blah". I see him tomorrow and perhaps he got the hint last week, we'll see!
Thanks again all!
