Dokusan in Sesshin: Do you always do it?

Hi everyone,

I’m practicing in sesshin this weekend and it got me curious: do you always go into dokusan no matter what? Even if you don’t have much to ask/say? Do you sometimes take a pass? Do you just feel it out in the moment or go by your own policy at every retreat? Has your approach to it changed over the years?

I have my own approach, so not looking for didactics here, just genuinely curious how others approach this, for whoever’s willing to share. It’s kind of personal so it doesn’t come up much at sangha.
