My T doesn't have any toys in his office (or anything else that a client could hold, play with or anything like that for that matter). But I bring my own stuffed animal with me, a small ice bear. Sometimes he just sits in my bag, sometimes I hold him the whole time. I use it more to calm myself down than to play. I'm not really a playful person overall.

My T never said anything about it. I would not like it if I were judged for this, although I did worry my T would judge me when I first started bringing the bear to sessions. It's a useful way to calm myself down, and I think my T knows that and doesn't mind. I'm allowed to express whatever I want in whichever way I want (as long as I don't hurt my T or myself of course).
