Not at all! My T and I sometimes had to change rooms and have our session in the clinic director's office instead of the tiny therapist's office she normally borrowed. Once we were sitting in the well-appointed :-) many window, comfortable chair with footstool director's office and were talking about the other office and our impressions of it and we were quite interested in how I viewed her seat in the other office, etc., which wasn't the way I imagined. I had seen the T in another office long before and far away and we talked about that one then too and our very different memories.

Our perception colors all our memories and experiences and we put in stuff and take out stuff depending on what we need; memory can be very much like dreams in some respect, where we are the creator and put in our own symbols, etc. Our world is as unique as we are!

My therapist was easily 4-6 inches shorter than I was and 150 pounds lighter and in the small therapist's office we normally used, I often felt like I was hulking over her. But the feeling would come and go; some days the difference didn't seem as great as others.
