Thanks. Yes, I´ve thought about what you illustrate here, like problematizing why the client brought his/her own kleenex. Then this issue grows more and more bizarre, I mean if a therapist will go on analyzing why the client wanted tissues in front of him/her on a table.
But for sure, that could happen.

This is barmy. I tell her it is nothing to do with trying to control my own grief, just that her tissues are thin and scratchy and exfoliate my nose, whereas mine are mansized with a hint of comforting balm.
Doktor R appears not to agree with my simple, practical explanation."
