Thanks for sharing! I'm concerned for that client, though as a few comments said, how does a psychodynamic T not know what a transitional object is? They mention fearing being thought of as a "weirdo" and it made me think of my telling Dr. T that I got comfort from holding the stone and making the error of adding, "I hope that's not weird." Which, as those who have been here a long time know, got the response of "Only about 10% weird." Which next session became "10% creepy."

He does seem to get it now, at least...Hope this person's T will rise to the occasion! Instead of acting like they're strange.
