Hugs, Scarlet. It sounds difficult enough having not seen L for so long, let alone wondering whether her office will be different. I like Ana's idea about asking if she could send a pic of how it looks now. Or at least to describe it, to let you know the parts you're concerned about are still there. When ex-MC was moving offices, I asked if a particular floor pillow would still be there. (Not that I ever sat on it--was just a fixture of his office.) He replied, "Of course!" And also said he'd do what was needed to make sure it felt like a safe space.

I wonder if there's some sort of different ritual you could do together to reconnect that first session? Something that has particular meaning for the relationship? As for hugging her and things like that, maybe see how you feel in the moment?
