When I was in a very intense moment in therapy this week, I told my therapist, "I wish you had a bathtub in here!" She looked at me and said, "Do you need to cry?" She didn't hesitate at all in her response. She knows that I cry in the bathtub. I am a confessed tub crier!

I thought about bringing a picture of a bathtub that looks like mine. That way when I feel like I need to cry in a session, maybe seeing that picture will help me? It will take me to that 'safe place' in my bathroom where I can let myself go and feel whatever it is that I need to feel. I may even bring the scented bodywash that I use.

I know this sounds like the dumbest thing ever, but I am serious. Maybe taking a visual like this will help me. Maybe smelling the scent will trigger my senses? It's worth a try.

Have you ever thought about doing something a little odd like this? I hope I am not the only one who thinks up these kinds of off the wall things. Only a person who is in therapy could understand this.
