If you could change absolutely anything what would it be?
For me it's the room, I want to give it a makeover. Darn place hasn't changed one bit since I started there, I find that really bugs me. I'd also like to take T clothes shopping and give him a bit of a makeover too.

I would change the room, it needs decorated but somehow it's still a comforting place to be so it doesn't bother me too much. I would put a sofa in, there's just armchairs. Even tho i never sit on the chairs, i sit at a desk (art therapy) sometimes i feel like i wish i could curl up on a sofa.

And i'd probably like one wall dedicated to throwing paint at, that would feel so good
And finally i'd really like to afford to go twice per week, so if that could be magically made to happen, i'd be happy.

Longer sessions for less money! Oh, and I wish I could bring one of my dogs in to the building and have her sit in my lap during the session.

She would explain what she was trying to do when she says things. As it is I simply go consult with others as to reasons why therapists might say x or y. Her refusal to explain does not keep the information from me.

She'd cut her rate in half and we'd go back to 90 minute+ sessions.

Mine just got her own office and it is soooo lovely, and freshly decorated.

Wishful thinking: I'd have an extra session a week with the second one being at no charge. (I don't need it; just saying.)

More realistic: I'd like at least another 30 minutes added to session, or that she would sit closer or that she'd be more creative in her technique and we'd do something fun like have a picnic in the room or draw or something.

I would like to do some real therapy. We've never even addressed my self-esteem or disassociation issues.

Realistically? Nothing that I can think of particularly.

Idealistically? My session would be free. Would love to get that off my budget.
Thanks for this!

That she would allow touch. Even just a simple touch of her hand.

I would like T to work Fridays instead of Thursdays so my sessions could be more evenly spaced over the week. I would also like longer sessions.

We'd do therapy sessions sitting on the floor or outside on a walk. I'd like to be able to feel more chill, he scares me to death.

There would be a few things I would change.

I would do twice a week (which I will be doing temporarily when we begin to deal with all the abuse/trauma in April, but I wish I could do it more than temporarily).

I would also have the ability to email her between sessions. Not even necessarily to get a response - but just so I can get things out between sessions - because even if I journal between, I may not show her. My old T, I would email in between sessions, and we would discuss it during sessions.

I would also like if she could/would hug me after a really tough session. Sometimes I feel like I really just need a hug.

Of course, if it would be free that would be amazing!

He would stop acting like a "non-person" so much of the time and be more authentic. He would tell me what he is doing, and more importantly, WHY he is doing it. I'm being harsh here but it's my fantasy

My therapist is very judgmental. That's what I'd change.

My T wouldn't move to a different country. I only have 4 sessions (2 weeks) left with him.

I would have them be harder on me. I'm never going to talk freely, so I wish they would drag it out of me.

have a couple

1.. she would go back to seeing clients on Tuesday and Friday rather than Thursday and Friday. If it was a really difficult week I could see her 2x a week rather than only once..two days in a row doesn't make sense.

2. all of her hours would be at her home office..it is a lot cozier because of lighting furniture...rented space seems like an office.

Have two sessions each week instead of just one. That would really be nice.
