I bring in stuff all the time. Like, seriously, almost every session. Because I have such a hard time *talking* about stuff.

Most of the time I bring in things I've posted here, and let him read my post at the beginning of the session, so we can try to talk about it. Sometimes, there's not much for me to say... he reads, and responds to points as he's reading. He keeps these.

Other times, I write out things that I need him to know, but do not want to talk about at this point. Again, stuff I either can't say, or would find really hard. These are usually awful enough for me that I give them to him as I'm leaving, so he can read them when I'm gone. I literally don't want to be in the room when he reads them!

My T is a private T, so he's hopefully got a reasonable caseload and he charges above average. I don't think I'd want to dump a huge pile of stuff on him, because I'd worry about him reading all of it. But, what I've done so far seems to be working ok.

I don't think it's unusual at all... you can always ask your T if he/she is open to it!
