Yes, my former T said that on occasion. It was a realization for us both that what we were doing at the time wasn't helpful, and perhaps there was another direction that we could go, or another line of discussion we could take that would be helpful. My former T would usually follow it up with, "What can I do to help you?" Which irritated me basically because I didn't know the answer and if I did I would have told her already! HUGS Kit
