They knew what I wanted from them because I told them that. Do you not tell you therapist what you believe you need from them? How does therapy work if you don't do that?

Yes of course I tell them what I want. I came with a very clear agenda but it seems that I wanted to avoid a lot and only discuss certain aspects of my life. With time sticking to the orginal issues seem impossible because other things surface all the time. I don't know maybe it's the way my therapy is going that makes me think he is not sure what we are both doing at the moment.
As for the question about them being smart. Do you think T never needs validation from clients?
