DepressMe, I'm sorry the new phone message was so upsetting to you. I hate phone messages like that, no matter who has them, with all those options you have to listen through. My T just has a simple voice mail with a short message, then beep, and you leave your message. No c**p to listen through, just his voice. Which is not c**p, lol.

My T sometimes will make changes to his office, and we will talk about these in session. Sometimes if I notice something new, I will ask about it, and he has said, "I was hoping you would ask about that," and will then tell me about what is new and why it is there. We have had some good discussions. I think every object in his office is carefully considered, so if he makes a change, it has meaning for the healing environment he is trying to create. Last night in my session, I noticed he had several hand-knit blankets spread out here and there on various pieces of furniture. I just didn't want to talk about the blankets so I ignored them! I hope that wasn't rude. They seemed temporary, like they weren't going to become a permanent fixture of his space.
