Understanding Therapist Guidance: Empowerment vs. Direction

Therapists generally do not tell their clients what to do. Instead, they provide support, guidance, and strategies to help clients make their own decisions and take control of their lives. Therapists may ask questions to help clients explore their thoughts and feelings, and may offer suggestions or insights based on their professional knowledge and experience. Ultimately, however, it is up to the client to make their own decisions and take responsibility for their actions.
