Told my current therapist a dream for the first time today (6 months, I don't dream often, but this one seemed like it could be relevant). I asked if he wanted to hear it. He sort of half nodded - I almost didn't know whether he did or not, so I asked and he said "Go ahead". I'm thinking he was assuming that I knew that he was interested. I went through it, and he asked what I thought about it. Then he made me go through it again and talk about each section (it was kind of long and complicated). In the end, it was just "My therapy is such a mess and I don't know what I'm supposed to do about it". This is not news. But it was interesting to get to the same old conclusion a new way. He didn't really interpret at all, but I didn't ask him to, either.
