It is how I wish to perceive what she is doing. Our perceptions of situations are always wholly ours; doesn't matter what the other person actually is doing (or, if it does, we ask them, "hey, why'd you do that?").

Right now, I perceive that Granite has perceived her T as not caring and is upset about that. I like my perception of her T's behavior, makes moving forward with her T more possible which is what I would want to try and do were I in Granite's shoes.

Watch out for those pink elephants, Pachy, you know they don't exist; so how come you immediately picture/perceive what doesn't exist? Am I magic? Or do you want to understand what I say so picture the pink elephants to see if you can figure out why I am warning you to watch out and thus try to match your perception with mine? "Bring this and read it to me and we will discuss it in session" seems to me a rather straightforward opportunity to communicate with the least possible interruptions and allows for interaction and possible correction of mistaken perceptions about another.
