I have never felt that my T manipulated me or tried to manipulate the therapy session. He is very directive at times, asking me questions to move the discussion to something other that what I had planned on. But I have learned not to plan on much with him, because he's so directive and straightforward with me, that I find myself being more honest and straightforward than I might have planned on being. I also have had intense and painful parent-child transference issues with him and I have talked about them constantly because they trouble me and they sometimes trouble him (because of the intensity of my feelings and reactions to him). But I never feel he deliberately lowers or raises his voice to achieve and effect. His technique is vitually invisible.
