So, for example, when I write out a note that I want to share with my T, would I be skimping out on my part of the work if I give it to my T to read instead of reading it out loud to myself? Sometimes the writing of the note (a condensed version of my journals between sessions, usually only one or two focus points) is hard enough, and when my T wants me to read it out loud, it could take me half the appointment to get through it, whereas if I had it right to my T to read, it takes 5 minutes and we have the rest of the time to discuss.

I get that the big piece of this is showing up with who you are, the real you, and taking responsibility for the work. But it's that elusive "work" that throws me off.
