When my T asks me a question I don’t know the answer to I flat out tell him I don’t know the answer. However, he won’t accept that for an answer so from there we usually work through it. It is so much easier to let him answer for me, but that’s the lazy way out, so I do make the effort to at least start the conversation with something that will point us in the right direction.

For the question about a balanced life - that’s a big question that can go in so many different directions. It’s not surprising that it requires some thought and introspection. I would probably try to bullet point a couple things and expand from there. I don’t think your T would expect you to have the whole answer, or the right answer right off the top. It may very well be that she wants you to take it away and think about it.
