Iāve had therapists be quiet while I speaking, and take their time to formulate their thoughts and words.
Iām not sure if thatās what you meant, but I do know that the good ones tend to spend a long time taking in the clientās words, and then spend time carefully saying their opinions

going into a silent room with cold walls and furniture and telling some random person about your deepest mechanations is uh. Hard. especially the first time.

I donāt think good therapists want a person feeling this way, or want them feeling like they are required to share deep feelings on a first visit.
I think clients often psych themselves up or down prior to a therapy visit, but the therapist is often open with a client taking their time and growing a level of comfort with the therapist before talking about personal things

Itās hard for therapy to go well when the client has preconceived notions and worrisome feelings about what the experience will be.
This is what the better therapists are good at breaking down and getting past
oh yeah its a similar experience. except a therapist at least has significantly less malice towards you. theres still kind of. an aura of judgement in the room though
heart beating too fas/ i think im gonna faint even more

Wouldāve disagreed with this until my brother got to sixth grade, and the principal started going after the IEP kids hard because test grades or something.
