I also would like my T. to read a chapter in Running on Empty. I gave her something else to read and she didn't. She said she wanted to hear everything from me. It upset me since it was important to me. Then, I said something sessions later about not reading and she said "what makes you think I didn't read about it".

This time I'm going to ask "would you read something if I left it with you" before I assume she will. It's hard and I think it's the kid part of us wanting someone to show interest and reading what we give them is a sign that we want them to care, etc.
