One of the first things my therapist told me when we met was that she doesn't believe in pushing clients. She believes in allowing clients to take the lead.
As time has passed, she's become a bit more assertive, but she's definitely not a "pusher."
Years ago I saw a therapist for 6 years; he was almost aggressive in his approach. He was a wonderful therapist, with his own style.
So the two couldn't be more opposite.
But if I'm asked which style I prefer...I think I lean a bit toward the softer approach. That way I can bring up whatever I want to. The softer approach is more challenging for me. It doesn't allow me to be lazy.
