You're not weird at all. I've talked to my T about the rock and the stuffed animal. She's okay with me holding the rock when I feel I need her. That's the point of it. Now the stuffed animal, she told me to try to put off cuddling it. She doesn't want that to be my go-to coping skill. If I try to cope using other skills and it doesn't help, then I can cuddle the stuffed animal. At first I was afraid to even touch it. Made me feel sad not comforted. I asked her if I can touch it, and she said of course! So now I sometimes just pet it when I go by. Or I tell her I love her to the stuffed animal. And on occasion, I give it a quick hug.

I have lots of transitional objects from scarfs, to rocks, to stuffed animals. I even asked my H for one. And I also jave a lot of objects that have great sentimental value to me.
