My T just said something like that a couple of weeks ago. There is a book written by her former professor that is hugely influential in how she does therapy. She told me I wouldn't be able to find it, so of course I had to track it down and read it. For a while I was pointing out what she was doing in session by name, and it was quite enjoyable when it caught her off guard that I had "read her playbook." I have forgotten a lot of it now, though, so she's back behind the curtain a little more. The stuff in the book was all pretty benign and well-intentioned, though.
