T has her own chair, and the option of a couch (loveseat) or chair. I've always sat on the couch. Seems cliché, but I was very nervous about starting therapy, and my first visit earlier this year had me shakin' in my boots, and the couch was farther away from her than the chair. The couch was also up against the wall, which felt "safer" to me. So I have sat in the very same place since day one, same side of the couch. I remember choosing that side initially because it was closer to the window. I was, like, very claustrophobic just thinking of being in that room, thankfully now I just walk in and plop down.

I like the couch anyway, because I take my shoes off and usually have my legs under me. I also like it because we've recently moved onto more difficult topics that have finally brought my emotions out....and she will sit by me as a comfort.
