I feel this way about the photos of my T's kids that festoon his office, especially bc he skews to less disclosure and I lost a baby. They are calendar worthy shots of him hugging them etc, and tend to be right in my line of vision while he coaxes me to discuss csa. It is so challenging, and feels wrong in a few ways. I have shared some of my feelings with him, but he has little to no reaction so I let it go.
My T says he is allergic to dogs. I have 4 dogs . He is beyond anxious when the law office next door brought their PWD to work, and I think asked them not too.
I would absolutely share this with your T, because it is about your feelings and not her dog. IMO, being a huge dog lover who brought my dog to classes when I taught high school, she should ask the dog to down-stay for the actual session time so as not to trigger anyone. It is a sensible policy. My dog learned the bell ringing meant he could schmooze, and class starting meant lay down and dream doggy dreams.
