Has anyone had therapist that mainly listens to you/nods?

My last two or three did this, and my current one, while very kind .. does this as well. I am there to get feedback, tips and affirmations, anything that can aid this healing of severe PTSD. I am not sure why or if they believe EVERY patient only wants a sounding board or just a pair of ears? I have major trouble speaking up too, that is part of my severe anxiety. I feel so awkward asking for what I need, with anyone really :( But I guess you just need to find that 'right' therapist, that really CARES to go forth MORE with you and ask questions, or show they are wondering about connecting the dots in your past, to how you are NOW. Anyone else go through this ?

They're using you for a cash cow, keep your money 💰 in your pocket. For best advice go see a priest at a church ⛪️, preferably one thats noted for being a gas 🎒 bag chatter box 📦. Have you ever thought of joining a quoir with your singing voice you should do.

@Jamesy I don't go to church really nor am religious . That would be neat to be in a choir.
