Hi everyone, I'm an arts therapist in New Zealand. I'm working with a 15 year old client who does not want to make any art in sessions. She "likes my vibe" and just wants me to listen.

I find this fairly hard going as I haven't had training in talk therapy. She doesn't say much, is defensive when I ask about deep/emotional issues, and have no art creations to work with. I've been seeing her for 6 months.

Anyone else experienced this with young people? Thanks
