Not many therapists have them but my current one does. I use it sometimes but I switch around according to my mood that minute. I think they should have that as an option, personally. For me, at least, it sends a message that this really is a safe space, that enter here and the conventions of daily life don't count. That it really is a place where it's okay to be vulnerable. Like this a place not just for the adult side of me though that's welcome too. Or not so much that day. Last time I sat on the couch like I was sitting on the floor and alternating between looking at the complex picture on the wall and looking at T who was much closer from there. It worked really well. I wouldn't mind a sand tray occasionally, too. Thinking of assembling a personalized bag of my own props and using the couch as a sand tray sometime and seeing if it would help. I suspect the way it would help most is being given permission to do it.

This got long and off topic. I hope it isn't veering into hijacking.
