My T drove this home with me. He encouraged it so much because I couldn't ask. I always assumed I wasn't worth anything. Asking was very tough but WITH HIM, became second nature in time. To the point, where I'd demand things from him, in a joking way but still.

He initially offered to touch me... thankfully because I'd never have asked. I don't think you can really get what you want with mind games. You gotta ask, bottom line
