I always have my stress ball in the bag - just in case but I've never needed it... My T has many different stress balls in her office as well as pillows so I guess I could use them if I wanted... Sometimes before sessions I feel like I'd like to walk or sit on the floor or play with the ball etc. But somehow in the office I always feel like just sitting still on my spot and making perfect eye contact with my T - just to show that I can
And today my T asked me if I wanted to take anything from her office to keep the connection during the long break, she said that she has really nice stones and glass "things" but somehow I didn't want to take anything...
