A "comfort" item for me has always been a bracelet, necklace, or even just a hairband around my wrist. Something I can fiddle with. I've never actually brought something that one would consider a comfort item, although I have this very soft, fleece scarf that I just love to feel on my hands. I have thought if I were to bring a comfort item, it would be that scarf. But I'm afraid my therapist might think I would be too childish.
