My T is very chatty and it can be nice because it makes her very easy to talk to. Today though we just ended up chatting the majority of the session. It doesn't help that I evade questions too. I feel like I got almost nothing done. It just makes me frustrated because I feel even more like I'm having to deal with everything alone. I feel like I need another session this week because I actually had some things I wanted to talk about. It also makes me feel guilty that my parents are paying for therapy yet it really doesn't help sometimes. At least I have pdoc tomorrow. He good at comforting me, reminding me that he is there to help, and helping to stay positive and keep moving forward. Sorry I just kinda needed to rant. I'm going to tell t about this next time. I'm also looking for a new t, but it's been a hard search. Anybody experience anything like this or have any helpful advice?

Yes. I had a chatty t and I didn't get anywhere. I found another t. I needed someone who could stay on track and focused on my needs and the reasons I was in t. With this t, I would leave and feel like I had just wasted my time and my money. I didn't need a friend to chat with, I needed a professional who could help me with my problems.

Maybe a talk with her will help. I know it can be nice at times, but it's just so wasteful if it's happening every session.

t1 can be quite chatty. I tell him that I am ready to work. Or I just say one of the things I want to work on. It was definitely hard the first few times.

I think it's good that you're going to talk to this T about it, as well as look for a new T. Good luck finding one!
