Lately I take my sketch book with me, or a coloring book. It helps me be more honest and grounded if I'm a little distracted. I also have a stress ball, some other stress toys, and on really tough days I bring my bear in with me. I almost always have jewellery that I can use to fidget with. My former t had all sorts of stuff in her office. This new t has nothing because a bunch of them share offices and we are never in the same one twice (yet). It's a bit disconcerting actually. I miss having the huge pillow on former t's couch to hide behind if things got scary.
