The therapy environment is actually comforting/"safe" feeling to me and I like a smaller office. I guess having the other person, the therapist there is the most intimidating aspect :-) not something one can do a whole lot about. My therapist is much smaller than I am and my sex, both of which probably help me. I guess what would be intimidating or uncomfortable would be individual like any other trigger?

I've had to move offices constantly (clinic setting) and know lots of people have to get different times each week or make an appointment each time, that would be upsetting to me; I like knowing where I'll be and when and that it will "always" be like that. Over time I've liked it better when the therapist's seating and my own were similar. At one point my therapist had a rickety desk chair whereas I had a La-Z-Boy so that was a little uncomfortable, keeping things as "even" as possible helps me be more comfortable. I like books and bookshelves and a bit to look at for "distraction" in the room, a window, etc. I guess the biggest help is if the other person is relaxed and comfortable then that helps me be the same.
