Ask her what the plan should be from here on in.
It's always evolving so it's good to update and make sure you are both working together.
Ask her about goals and objectives - what they might look like and how to get to them.
I am going to do this, but she can be pretty loose with this.
She is a trauma focused pyschodynamic t.
And her personality is pretty laid back.
She has stated more so descriptions of the care I need or a direction to go in, like she will say things like:
You need healing through a relationship like this one.
Or
I want to hear more about your father
Or the goal is for you to separate from your maternal enmeshment.
And so on.
They are deeper goals and not so concrete like when I got marriage therapy and it was out lined in 10 sessions what would be accomplished. Better communication for example.
Needing explicit concrete goals isnt really the problem I don't think.
I moved in with my inlaws and stopped seeing her for 3 weeks and then started seeing her with a more abundant feeling because we had paid down our debt.
Perhaps the abundant feeling caused me to idealize therapy.
I don't know.
But when I went back in it was awkward and choppy. With lots of starts and stops.
