I had a very hard time leaving sessions and not being with my T as much as I wanted. We talked about this a few times and I got the courage to ask for a transitional object. Something from the office that I could hold onto and know that she is there and we are connected. She had a bunch of rocks/stones in dish on the table next to my chair. She gave me one that is more of gemstone and I take it with me everywhere and it helps to hold onto it and know she is there and I am connected to her even if I am not with her.
