Yeah, what's up with T's not using their mind-reading skills on us.  Seriously though, I've changed how I think about that with my T since one of our group members committed suicide. T was very clear that I need to tell her what's going on, that she might get a hint but that it's important for me to ask for what I need. That's probably the hardest thing to do, but I can see the importance of it now. And I'm not sure I'd really want T to read my mind.

"What is Real? asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day.
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
