Maybe if there were toys or just something to keep my hands busy.. lol. But I think that would just freak my T out hahah. Maybe I could bring a yo-yo or something.
Anybody dealing with this problem? Any suggestions?

Hey there,
Since you have only had 3 sessions so far it is very common that you dont feel settled, it can take a while to build up a rapport with your T, that definately doesn't happen in only a few sessions and your T knows this. It can take people a few months to start opening up...everyone is different. If you would like to take something into your session to hold then that is completely ok...honestly it is!! Many people do this! Your T will not think you are werid for wanting something to hold. Many people fidget when they feel nervous and sometimes it can help to have something to hold.
