I am often very upfront addressing something I want to and initiate it directly without sugar coating or hesitance. I started many of my therapy sessions in that way. But I can be similarly skilled when I want to avoid something and escape... this is only one reason why I like people who are insightful, can cut through BS, and discuss it confidently and respectfully. I've never found that in a T that I paid unfortunately. I did once before in someone who used to be a T before retirement; I did not meet him in that capacity but our interactions were very therapy-like and I found it tremendously helpful and compatible.
