44. Who Sets the Agenda in a Therapy Session?


Listen Later

Who is responsible for setting the agenda in a therapy session?

Angie wonders if it's really up to her to bring up hard topics with her therapist. Chelsea's therapist (8:48) doesn't ask questions about her life, making her feel like her therapist doesn't care about her. Finally, Claire's therapist (17:31) likes to explore the topics that interest him and she finds herself trying to please him by playing up those aspects of her life. We were warmed up by Act 3 so don't give up before the end.
