what does it look like?

i wonder if he likes it.

my T's room is odd. half of it is devoted to children's things; one whole wall is shelves of toys and they are loaded with toys. I find it very cluttered looking and I want to straighten it up and weed it out. Other days I just want to sweep all the toys off the shelf to get rid of the evidence of her having other patients and particularly children. lol

Another wall has a huge picture window with vertical blinds and some of the slats of the blind have fallen off and have laid on the floor below, behind and underneath her desk, visible from my vantage point on the couch and have been there since I've been going, over a year. lol. Her large plain desk is in front of the picture window and the view through the window is trees and plants, a huge window of green; once in the middle of a session the green was broken by a brilliant red cardinal resting on a branch and we both delighted in seeing that. On her desk are pictures of her daughter , a phone, and her day planner. Sometimes there is a jar of big chunky painbrushes soaking after being used by one of her little patients.

Beside the desk is a small metal cabinet with a small dollhouse on top and on the front are magnetic squares that each have a face on them representing an emotion. Behind the cabinet on the wall are her diplomas.

The next wall has 2 chairs and between them is a small round covered table with a lamp. Sometimes there is a card or two on the table and I'm always so curious to know what they are and from whom! On the wall are several framed prints.

In the corner there's a table with a plant and several books and next to that on the last wall is the couch. Sometimes the plant grows long and part of it lays on the arm of the couch and I fiddle with it.

In front of the couch is a cheap plastic parson's table with the required box of kleenex.

There's a wide flowered border along the top of the wall at the ceiling.

For the longest time I just avoided eye contact. The I started to take in the room. I think it meant I was getting comfortable there.
