Thanks. Yes, I think this depends a bit on what kind of therapy you´re in. My therapy isn´t focused on homework, finding solutions (perhaps yours isn´t either) and my therapist asks more about how I want her to meet me than if she´s going to offer some solutions or tips about my problems or not.
I think it´s impossible for the client to tell a therapist how he or she should act to be helpful. One can give some direction but then it´s up to the therapist to be able to adapt to the client without having the client to tell them what to do, that´s not our job to do that.

I told her that if I’m hoing there and I’m figuring things out on my own the. What’s the point of going there and paying her. That’s my reasoning.
