I just ran across a thread where the poster mentioned a real couch that they lay down on during their session. In my mind I get the picture of the type couch seen in old movies or what I call a "shrink couch". I have been inside several different T's offices over the last 15 years and have never seen a couch like that. In fact the only time I have seen one was in the self-help section of a book store.

Most offices I have been in have a couple comfortable chairs or a chair and love seat for clients. They usually have a desk and some have a chair next to the desk.

It made me think about all of the people that have never been in therapy and what their expectations might be. Lets share with them so it will make it easier for anyone starting their journey.
