> I'm sure no expert, but my ex T, CBT, talked a lot. It was very conversational, I liked that. No dead air. My new T also talks a lot, no dead air. Very insightful. With both I feel like we talk(ed) non-stop pretty much, and if I didn't talk they ask(ed) questions.
>Mine is still very conversational but there are these moments where I want to say "come on, just say something, or recite something out of your CBT/psych book. The silience makes me feel like, oh I dont know, not good though.
> I think I'd be uncomfortable with them not talking more. Since it's new, maybe ask if there's supposed to be so much dead air, couldn't they be more directional, how's it supposed to work, that kind of thing.

> fwI think Im going to. I worry about saying something insulting, but I think I will say something when it happens again, like "are you trying to get me to think or are you thinking?" or is there no response to what I just said? maybe that last one was a little rude. Hopefully I will get a positive response.
