Sometimes. It helped a lot at first. She gave it to me during a difficult phase in therapy, right before I went out of town and she moved offices. After several months it started to feel more like mine instead of hers, so I left it with her for a while for "recharging." I definitely still carry it in my pocket all the time, though, and I do mess with it when I feel anxious. It's one of a few things that I turn to when I want to feel connected to her between sessions.
