so, ive been seeing three different therapists in three years, and im just wondering, am i the only one that prefers when he/she has a form that i can just fill out?
i really dont like it when we have to make small talk, and im not able to actually tell how i feel, and i lie a lot and i cannot be the only one, can i?

id just be glad if anyone wanted to tell me about their experience with therapists (:

I don't really know what to say unless they ask very direct questions, sometimes leading to a long and so very awkward silence, but I don't lie. I just say "I don't want to answer/I don't know/I don't want to talk about that."

I agree. Every week, I have to ho to a behavioural consultant, and all we do is small talk. I honestly don't care if I can't gossip with other people, I don't really mind being awkward at school.
