For the last few zoom sessions, I wore a t-shirt and PJ shorts. This is very different from how much effort I usually make for in-person sessions, where I choose what to wear the night before and try stuff on in advance. I even wear a different perfume on therapy days, because I want to associate a specific scent with the feeling of safety I get in therapy. It's been two years and has worked...I now wear that perfume for zoom therapy sessions and it instantly takes me back to T's office, which heightens the connection during teletherapy.

During face-to-face sessions, I mostly wear jeans or cigarette trousers (I go straight from work), trainers and a jumper. I have also worn skirts and pinafores during warmer months. I like clothes and I think that for me they are a mode of expression. I sometimes worry that he thinks I'm dressing up for therapy (which I am, but shh). I have no doubt that he picked up on it.
