Thanks. Yes, as you I see it as common sense to have a visible box of kleenex in a therapy room where it´s more or less expected that some clients will cry during session.
I don´t know with this T if she had put the kleenex behind the curtain to make the clients to ask for a tissue but I´ll "solve that problem" next time as I then plan to bring my own kleenex!
She won´t succeed on that one so to speak.
I´ll see how she acts next time and I´m stuck with her or no one so I´ll give her one more session or so.

Ts that keep a box of kleenex in other places with the purpose of provoking actions in a client seem manipulative,
As someone with PTSD who is hypervigilant*, other signs of manipulation more impactful than a mere kleenex box would be on my radar. Avoiding manipulation and potential drama is not a bad thing. Not saying this T is like that but thinking of the themes in the thread where people stated therapists placed kleenex boxes purposefully to get clients to do things.
*hypyervigilance is not paranoia and has help kept me safe in avoiding problematic individuals. Learning how trauma survivors can become revictimized had led to more open mindedness about this.
