this hit home with me. my t recently changed rooms and i didnt think it was a big deal but i think it is more than i thought it would be. her office used to be way in the back down the hall away from the waiting room. she'd come to get me and we'd walk down the hall and then at the end she would hug me before we walked out her office and she'd walk me back down the hall where'd id turn and say bye. it was like a gradual process to leave. it was really big office with a huge cozy couch and it was bright and had all her pictures in there. it was HER office. now things have changed and she shares a small office with another therapist on the day he is not there. its right next to the waiting room so i can hear her in with her other patient if she laughs or something. theres no walk down the hall with small talk on the way or a gradual goodbye. its out the door in the waiting room and adios. everything about it is different. she even seems different since shes been in there. her other office was where our relationship was built. its where my walls came down and i for the first time in my life opened up to someone and felt close to someone. it was warm and cozy. it was my emotional home. i felt safe and trusted her. ever since she's moved offices ive felt a disconnect. something has been off. i walk out of all appts feeling kinda down. how can the connection be different just because of a room? so strange but makes total sense.
