I really like my T. But this is annoying.
I came to my last session wanting to talk a LOT about a bunch of things that happened to me, that I thought about and that I noticed since the last session.
But my therapist talks so much herself. I mean, I like her and what she says makes sense and is helpfull.
But she very much leads the session when she does talk so much.
It is like, I have a thought on something she says, but I wonīt interrupt and she keeps talking. So I forget what I wanted to say.
But when I talk, she interrupts all the time.
I mean, she does listen to me. Itīs just that she doesnīt let me finish and Iīd like more talk-time myself.
And I donīt want to struggle for it.
Last time wasnīt a trauma-exposure session, we talked ABOUT the problem itself. Still, she definently talked more than 50 percent of the time.
Other times itīs maybe 50 percent or more.

Also, she doesnīt ask so much and assumes a lot, I feel.

Is there any way, that you might be able to let her know, how you are feeling about how the sessions are going? Maybe she doesn't even realize that she's doing it...
regardless, that has to be hard.

I hope it works out, sorry I don't really have any awesome advice...
