I felt I wanted something to fiddle with and thought about buying a throw pillow. I brought 3 stuffed animals of various sizes instead so I wouldn't have to spend money on a new pillow. One of the stuffed animals works best for me of the three. I leave them in her office.

T didn't suggest that I bring anything but now that I have, she encourages me to use it if I need it. She's glad that I found something to reduce my anxiety and give me comfort.
