In reply to give a book to my T?, posted by wishingstar on January 31, 2006, at 19:44:55
Welcome to Babble! "In Session: The Bond Between Women and Their Therapists" is great, isn't it? I think it should be required reading in therapist school.
Have you considered bringing the book with you and reading short excerpts that were especially meaningful with you and discussing how they apply to you? I have found that to be the only way to get my therapist to "read" anything I wanted him to read.
That way if her interest is piqued, she can decide to read the book, or if she expresses interest you can offer to lend her your copy.
Not that I think there's anything wrong with giving it to your therapist, if she's one of the therapists who accepts gifts. I just think that if there are things you definitely want her to see and understand, there's nothing like pointing them out in person. :)
I'm looking forward to getting to know you too!
