Therapists

I've been seeing a therapist for a couple of personal issues I'm dealing with and I've had 6 sessions with her. So far, I feel like it's been a waste of money because all I do is talk and she hardly says anything. I can do this with a friend for free. Aren't they supposed to give some advice or something?

Actually, the therapist is there to help you to help yourself. A therapist knows how to do this, but a friend really does not, and could make matters worse.

I agree with Mel. A therapist is not supposed to lecture to you. You are supposed to talk to the therapist and the therapist asks you questions that help you to learn more about yourself. You don't see a therapist just to get quick answers. Therapy is a process.
