I don't think I have ever asked a therapist to change things in the room. Actually I wish the therapists I saw had paid more attention to the confort of the room for their clients' sake. I saw a therapist for two months and she practiced from home. I would see her in a room that looked like her library (which I liked because I love books and love looking at what people are reading ) but her whole house always smelled of food, like she had cooked a big stew right before my arrival. Awful. I hate food smells. I never asked her if I could open the window because she didn't seem very agreeable (and she wasn't). I also saw a male therapist (only once thankfully) whose office smelled of pipe smoke and actually there were all kinds of pipes hanging on the walls. He was collecting them I guess. The fact that he never thought that this could inconvenience his clients is baffling.
