Do you mean that you are afraid to ask your T to hold one of her stuffies? Why does she have them if not for clients to hold? My T has lots of things in her office and I know I can ask to hold anything if I want to. She has the bear I gave her which is technically hers, and sometimes I've asked to hold it.

Does it make a difference that you, or anyone, would have their own? It reminds me of my wanting my T's painting, not mine. I want (to hold) something of hers, not mine. Is that what you're getting at? I don't think a T would think it at all strange if you want to hold something of HERS even though you have your own.

Sorry if I'm off-track with the above, but I think that's what you meant. If not, please clarify and I'll try again!
