My mother used to go to a T and she would complain constantly, "He doesn't say anything. He just sits there". I found that very hard to believe, especially knowing my mother. I posted another post about the psychologist I have seen 2x so far but I wanted to take this a step further. Has anyone ever gotten "any help" from a T who seems to use a psychodynamic approach. The just sitting there more or less looking at you and saying nothing approach? I am guessing there must be people in the world who have benefitted from this therapeutic style. Has anyone here ever gotten helped from this style? The therapist who does not engage you but just sits there, listens when you talk but doesn't give feedback and now and then will ask a question? Thank you. (PS I am not asking if I should stay with this therapist. That was covered in my other question.)
