I hope this is not all there is to therapy?

Well, I started counseling and I've had at least two sessions.
So far the first one was better than the second one.
I didn't really say much in the second one and this silence was interpreted by the counselor in a way I didn't think was accurate.
We did discuss some things that I felt, but she didn't hint at any solutions or advice.
She said she was going to give me some kind of homework last time- that did not happen.
At the end of this one she said she was going to push me a little.
So far it's just been me talking and her saying stuff that I could of gotten off the internet, to be honest.
However, I am willing to give it a bit more time and see what happens in the next session and a few after that.

You get out what you put in...takes practice and a good knowledgable match is helpful

@fun4us2b
Don't feel like that I have been asked anything to put in?

@Justmeraeagain You should feel like she's listening and understanding what's troubling you and what your goals are...that does take time. But you should feel like she is absorbing your situation and will be able to help...maybe you should have a list of questions ready next time - and what you think your expectations are so you will have more of an idea if you're on the same page...

@fun4us2b that's a good idea
I'll see what she says or doesn't say next session

@Justmeraeagain I hope it works out.
