BirdDancer makes a lot of good points, spikes! I talk about a lot of different things including meds and coping skills. I discuss my moods, what I am feeling at the time of the session, and of course any cognitive distortions I may be having (which are many at any given time lol).

my therapist is a "listener." he asks questions of course and he occasionally interjects when he thinks he needs more elaboration from me. what I dig about him, is that he calls me out on my ********, and knows when I am not being very honest about something. we also talk about my PDoc and how things progress with him whenever I seen him. my T is quite invaluable to me for my recovery and I hope he doesn't ever leave or move to another MH facility since there is an unusual turn around there which is prompting me to search for another provider.

hope everything works out spikes! keep reaching out here! take care
