I voted "Other".

With last T, I had to bring a pillow from the waiting room in to his office, because he had no pillows in there. What kind of a T has no pillows in their office? He eventually would make sure the pillow was there waiting for me.

He also had a bunch of little things that clients could pick up and play with. I didn't touch them (or notice them) at first, but eventually I think he pointed them out - and with much trepidation (because it's not my space, so it feels weird) - I took them out to fiddle with, once or twice. Including the fabulous squishy water-and-glitter-filled ball that I really loved.

Mostly I brought a stretchy bead bracelet that I could stretch and mangle while we talked.

New T... I rearrange the pillows every time I get in there to make them more comfortable. They're good pillows, but the couch is a little odd/deep, so I like one pillow behind me, and one in front of me (to squeeze and hide behind when things are rough).

I don't touch anything else in her office. Honestly, I can't think of anything else she has that I could touch without feeling like I'm crossing a boundary. I can't imagine just grabbing a book from her bookshelf, for example.

I kind of wish there were more little things to pick up and play with... stuff that can be stretched and contorted without breaking, so that you can mangle it a bit when you're stressed!
