Yes, but this is therapy where the relationship is unique unto itself. My T is a blank slate T (for the most part), and she never starts the conversation. She makes me choose the direction and then she'll lead us through the conversation. If I don't come up with something, we'll sit in silence. So having an idea about what I want to talk about is important and necessary. I'm not saying that I want to control the whole session. I just want my time with her to be valuable. We'll it's always valuable, but special in a way.

You know, maybe I'll just talk to her about what we should do for the last session. Maybe she has some ideas as well.
