I also notice I have a tendency to skip the ASK comments.

Oh, me too! I used to get so upset about it, it would be part of my tearful call to her after session "I didn't ask you things I wanted to ask you!!". When she called back she would say it's okay and we can talk about it next time; anything can be talked about again at any time." Along with "Say anything." her instructions include "Start where you are." and "Whatever is on your mind at the moment.".

I still struggle with asking questions. I have a tendency to report rather than engage, but that's getting better with practice I've been going for about 16 months weekly and I really think it would be even better to go twice weekly, to keep the momentum going, to not be close then distanced then close again.

Asking is like stating a need. It's so so hard for me to do.
