The last therapist I had at the Vet Center tried to recommend a Warrior Goddess book. I tried, but it just was not for me. I told her that before I moved out of state. I felt that the book was an extension of her misunderstanding my needs, and I told her that, too.

It is okay to be honest about disliking a book and why.

I have had therapists in my distal past recommend books I liked, such as Robert B. Oxnam's "A Fractured Mind," which parallelled aome of my issues coupled with the inspiring fact that Oxnam works as a professional with government officials despite his coming out about MPD (he preferred that to the DID label). Not to recommend a book or anything, but I am a female who appreciated a book referral about a male. I totally felt understood.
