I changed times I see her to accomodate school and out of school activities. Now, I am after a young boy (maybe 11 or 12). Every time I see him, I feel guilty. Because I think of the stuffed animal. And wonder if he wonders where it went; if there are other kids missing it. T didn't replace it and I dont think she will.
Am I giving too much thought to this? I just dont want to be the reason some other kid no longer feels safe in t because their comfort item is gone. I also feel guilty about being so old and having a stuffed animal.

You are probably overthinking it, but I'd probably do the same. It was sweet of her to give it to you, and I think it shows she cares. It's very nice of you to consider the other clinets that may miss it, but that's T's job to insure the comfort of her clients. If she cares enough to give you the stuffie, then I'm sure she will replace it if/when necessary. No nned to feel guilty about being too old to have a stuffie. I'm 25 and still have my first teddy from when I was a newborn. Sometimes I carry it with me to t. T held it one session
When I don't take my teddy, I usually grab T's Mr. Moose stuffie/beanie
He is my therapy buddy during session so that I don't feel like bamapsych vs T
