It depends hugely on what the therapy is trying to help. I personally find this sort of therapy completely useless. I needed active guidance and advice for what I needed to change and do.

A good therapist adapts to what the patient needs. Sometimes that is space to vent. Sometimes it is a guiding hand. Sometimes it's a (verbal) slap to the face to stop you running in panicking circles.
