[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is like, really into it.

She is monitoring our workouts.  Everything she thinks is important to wellness.[/quote]

I personally agree with her opinions about an awful lot of this - sleep, exercise, etc. - but I really really really don't like the idea of a therapist telling you what you should and shouldn't do.  That just sounds...completely wrong to me.

If she is offering suggestions about how to address problems that you all bring up - ie, giving answers to questions you all are posing - then that's another thing.  Don't blame her for giving you answers you don't like when you ask the question.  When you are all are in session and she asks you what's bothering you, do you all give her a litany of gripes about daily living (eg, dog walking, etc.)?

Still, good therapists listen to what is bothering each individual patient and answer their individual issues; they don't hand out blanket prescriptions for everyone to follow (that's something clergy, new-age shamans, self-help gurus and cult leaders do).[/quote]
