In the beginning of therapy my T suggested to bring my mum with- he realized how badly we communicate and thought working on that would help me. I said no- I need my T to be mine alone, absolutely separated from my real life and honestly, it just wouldn't work (I love my mum, she loves me but we can't talk about our feelings/problems... even my T after 6yrs of therapy thinks the best we can do is leave our RS the way it is)

Come to think of it I did bring my dog few times and hated it. Couldn't concentrate...
