My T does a good job of meeting me where I am. Mostly I think I set the agenda and pace. If I want to talk about lighter things it's ok and he will meet me there. If I want to dive deep he'll meet me there too. We can talk about something and not continue that topic for a long time. The space is necessary for me to progress. He's my long term T so I think that may contribute to a sense of being ok to slow down and knowing we still get "there".
