All,

Some of my best appointments with my former T (I won't go on and on, I promise) involved me bringing objects into therapy that I thought would tell my story better than going on and on (as I do from time to time in this forum).

Have you done so? Has it helped? My former T always took them, looked at them, and never said a word. Often, they were photographs of people/things that meant a lot to me. His silence FREAKED ME OUT

I felt foolish having brought them in. (I felt foolish a lot, partly because of the style of therapy T used...very remote). Rather than dwell on that, though, how about a reaction from you? Has bringing a cherished (or not cherished Object) into T helped? Would you do this again?
