I'd love a dog in therapy, although honesty, it might be too much of a distraction for me. I'd be tempted to spend more time with the dog, and less time paying attention to the therapist...

And... yeah, it would be great to have the comfort of a pup when you're upset, but I worry a tiny bit that it would mess up the therapy, somehow? Like, by making you feel better in the moment, stop you from feeling what you need to to fully process the old emotional stuff?

Edit: And, nope, none of the Ts I've seen have ever had any pets in their office. I had a singing teacher once though whose dog would come and go from lessons from time to time! I didn't really interact much with the dog though... the singing took up 110% of my brain!
Thanks for this!
