Strangest object in T's office

Strangest thing in my T's office........................my T!!!

(Read my post-Therapist is f-ing insane)

He has a quirky sense of humor and lots of floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, so there's lots of weird stuff. Don't know if he brought it in himself or they are gifts from clients. My favorites:

• Plastic fish that sings
  
• Skull (hope it's not real)
  
• Voodoo doll
  
• Gumball machine (with real gum)
  
• Antique balancing scale (maybe because he's a Libra?)
  
• Magician's hat

Cut the blue wire!

• Plastic fish that sings - Used in his Jungian sand tray
  
• Skull - A souvenir of his first patient
  
• Voodoo doll - A transfer object for role playing
  
• Gumball machine (with real gum) - He likes gum between sessions
  
• Antique balancing scale - For weighing the brain before and after therapy
  
• Magician's hat - Placed on patient's head for diagnosis

Yeah. That was my guess. Dad was a Land Surveyor.

I really don't know what T has in her office that's weird. I don't look around. I look out the window. I talk. I leave. The end.

She once had an empty wine bottle in her trash can. I wouldn't have noticed it, but she pulled it out as we walked in (guess I was her first client that day), and said, "I should probably get rid of this." Apparently it was from a meeting the night before.

I'm always fascinated by the books on the shelf.

Ex-T had all kinds of frog paraphernalia, which I found odd. She liked frogs, so people gifted them to her.

Whoa...a wine bottle in her trash can? That's a little weird. Maybe she has her own set of unhealthy coping mechanisms?!? (Just kidding.)

A symbol of transformation apparently

my ts office is pretty generic and boring. she does have a pile of river rock on the floor that catches my attention..its not even pretty river rock..just the boring grey stuff they use for landscaping. I wonder if she gives it to people to use as worry stones.

LOL! Thanks - I really needed the laugh today!!

of course! How stupid can I be?!

I was sure that I know how emdr machines look like, e.g. like that:
But when I googled "emdr machine" as you've suggested, I found also something like this:

My only excuse can be that it was turned off, at least 5m from my couch and turned around so I couldn't see these small lights... The mystery is solved Thank you

But it means that it is nothing weird so next time I have to have a good look in the office to find something weird

I'm surprised you need a tripod for an EMDR box. Couldn't it be mounted on the wall or placed on a shelf?

I have no idea how it works but from the picture it looks that at the end there are some numbers, so I imagine that I should watch these small lights while my T can see these numbers and that's why it is on tripod (as hanging on the wall would make it extremely difficult)

PS. Sorry for stealing this thread

I was dying to know too!

She loves owls, I guess it's not weird but there's alot of them, I feel they are all staring at me lol .

yep thats what it sounded like when u described it. my T has one in his office. exactly like the picture.

i guess its on a tripod so it can be easily moved. like in front of the client whereever they are sitting, or into a different room. my T shares his EMDR machine and its on a tripod so people borrow it.

You sure that it was "real" wine? The reason I ask is that each year I bring in a bottle of sparkling grape juice, that looks like a wine bottle, and we celibate another year of me being SI free, I'm up to 3 now. Could be something like that.

Here's some symbolic meaning on owls:
