As far as the judging, I know T doesn't really care about what I wear. She really isn't a clothes person. I work in pscyh and know that often times ones appearance is one indicator of how one is doing. I know they assess ones body language, appearance, etc. It doesn't tell everything but it is a tool. T has mentioned my body language a lot. She knows when she asked how I am doing....I pretty much always answer "okay". Sometimes she will say, "okay, now how are you really doing?" I just want my clothing to tell her things but in reality I know it is a tool they use.

None of my therapists seem to care either, I don't see why they would. My uni therapist once said as a general comment that I dress well, as proof that I am "functioning" or something (not that I am doing well emotionally or anything, just that I am able to get up and get dressed, hah). I sometimes try to argue that I am not a functioning adult, and she said that to contradict me. She also once made a comment when I showed up to a session having cut off two thirds of my hair. My private therapist didn't say anything, which I found really interesting.
