Yes, there have been a few times when I got irritated at my T for not just knowing that I needed something. When I forced myself to stop and think rationally, though, I realized that while my T does know me well and can usually anticipate what I might need, she is NOT a mind reader and I do have to ask for what I need. Plus, one of my challenges is actually asking for things I need rather than just ignoring them, so I know my T wants me to ask. When she can clearly see that I can't ask and also clearly see what I need, she will often meet that need. But, I can't honestly expect her to always know what I'm needing, and offer it. I can't expect her to read my mind. And I don't really have a valid reason to get angry at her for being unable to read my mind.
