Speaking about the toys...I am so very hyper-vigilant and sensitive that the slightest change in Ts office sends me into high anxiety. Even seating changes make me feel like danger is imminent. A few weeks ago, I started to walk into Ts office for a session and a small plant was gone. I said "where's the plant" as I froze in the door way. She said she took it home for some extra TLC. But the missing plant set the tone for the entire session; I was so anxious the slightest noise made me jump.
So...for me looking at the same old stuff is comforting.
