Chris always follows my lead, and lets the healing take place very organically. We start where we left off last week, but always with the question of what's new; so that I can choose to follow up, or bring up new topics. My therapist has demonstrated a wealth of knowledge in psychology and modern therapeutic techniques. I feel like I'm getting the cutting-edge of tested therapeutic methods.
