My therapist always says it's ok to *ask* for *anything* in *any* relationship, but to be prepared to hear a "no" as an answer - or in the case of therapy, be prepared to hear a discussion of why you asked rather than any answer at all. He says it's better than not asking, and not having any chance of getting what you want.
(I'm still working on asking the question when I'm not reasonably sure of the answer. I tend not to take risks, but I certainly don't see that as a virtue in myself.)
