My T and I were talking about this today. I'd mentioned several things I'd seen in recent threads - wanting to sit on the floor, wanting a couch, blankets, wanting a rock from the T, how much I love his little space heater, etc etc.. He was interested and asked me what other kinds of things people wanted.

What else is there? What would make you more comfy in your therapy room? Have you asked for it?

On a personally exciting note, he may be bringing in little blankets now. I am beyond excited.

I love the space heater also. I also want a couch where I can sit all the way back and still have my feet touch the ground. T's amazon woman sized wife picked out the current one and I hate it. Makes me feel tiny and helpless and stupid when my feet don't touch the floor when I sit back in a chair or couch.

A nice comfy squishy couch I can curl up on. He used to have one but he moved out of that room when he went to being in that practice part time. He says he's getting a couch for his own office but I don't know how it would fit; his office is tiny. I'll be there again next week. I was there once before and he only has waiting room type chairs. We'll see. I might end up bringing one of the kids' pillow pet cushions.

A skylight. A window. Non florescent lighting. A couch.

I would like something to hold or play with, like a stress ball or small stuffed animal...hmm...maybe I'll bring something in next week. My T already has a blanket (smart trauma T that she is), but I've never used it except to mess with the frills on the edge and to pet it as it sits next to me on the arm of the couch because it's soft. I would also love a warm cup of tea or something like that, but that's just me dreaming, haha.

Generally, I was comfortable. But I would have liked it better if the recliner chair had rocked and swiveled--like his did--and been deeper so that I would have sunk into it, rather than sat on it, if you know what I mean. And I think all session rooms should have soft lighting--as his always did--and never fluorescents.

My T has a space heater too!

I would really love for sitting on the floor to be an option, but her room has too much furniture in it to really allow it even though it's a pretty bid room. Plus my T dresses much to nice to sit on the floor. I often wonder why she gets so dressed up. It kinda makes me want to dress up too and then we can do business instead of therapy. Sorry for that weird tangent.

Anyway I would also love to sit on the couch with my legs crossed, but I feel like having my shoes sort of on the couch that way is not good manners. She also has pillows in her room that I've been tempted to hold because I do that a lot in my own house, but for some reason I've never done it. Also a stress ball or other little trinkets that I could play with would be really nice considering I'm always playing with something. Usually my book/earbuds/jacket/hair/anything within a 12 inch radius of me.

I really like when therapists have plants in the office. I guess they're sort of symbolic of life and hope and growth for me. I know that sounds cheesy, but... *shrug*

And things to keep warm are really important. When I'm stressed or scared or dealing with trauma stuff, I get really cold. That just makes me feel worse. So blankets, space heater, stuff like that. I had one therapist who got mad when I put my jacket back on during a session, and that really didn't work for me.

I would love for my therapists room to have legos! I'm such a kid;I absolutely love legos!

As for what would I want to do or have done... I would really like my therapist to read to me. Like... I would give up legos forever for that to happen :/

[unaluna]

A jar of m&m's would be nice. I see him around noon and often only have had or am having coffee. So i want food, preferably candy. I know, not good for me and not a good idea. But maybe santa will bring him a jar.

I don't care what's in her office. I would just like that office to be in the same town as me again, that is all.

[WhoaPlease]

Pillows, and maybe a blanket. Although I don't know how I'd feel covering up with a blanket that so many other people have possibly put over themselves.

I like to sit with my legs under me, so I swear sandals to my sessions. Or at least some kind of shoe I can slide in and out of without hassle. My T asked me recently (jokingly) when I'll start wearing shoes. I think probably every session I've had with her I wore the same slide on sandals. She must think that's all I have....lol. Colder weather is coming, so she may start seeing a variety on my feet. But I informed her that I specifically wear those shoes when I come to therapy so I can take them off easily before sitting with my feet on her couch.

[justdesserts]

My therapist has Peanut M&Ms, a blanket and a soft couch. He also has a window, and no overhead fluorescent lighting--it's a lit with lamps. I like those things.

[sweepy62]

I would like a fluffy small blanket. Some Legos coloring books, candy.

[lostwonder]

I decided that I'm bringing a deck of cards with me to my next session. I really hope he knows how to pay rummy or something. I think having something else to focus on will help me be more open.

[stopdog]

I would settle for a chair for clients - not a big mushy chair - just a regular normal sized one instead of the horrible couch - which most recently had its two huge throw pillows in disarray and in the middle of the item where I usually sit so I had to sit on a side of it making the whole arrangement even worse than usual.
I would like best a lectern or podium I could stand at. Second to that I would prefer a conference table with the woman at one end and me at the other.

[RedSun]

Stopdog could you bring your own lectern? Wheel it in and set it up in the corner...

I would like a big cup of tea! That's all. And a bigger chair so I can sit with my feet under me. T practices in her home, so there's loads of pretty and interesting stuff to look at, and it's very cosy. Maybe I would like her to play some music, if only to fill the awkward silences when I can't speak.

I want a bigger chair too as I always sit at home with my feet tucked up under me. I want some interesting fiddle things too. I'd like to see soft toys and funny posters on the wall. A fibre optic light and a light bubble water display. Also I'd like to look at fish. I want the walls painted lemon and a cup of coffee would be nice. I don't want much eh?

[ThingWithFeathers]

For me, it's all about sitting in a comfortable/protective way. So, I guess I'd like to be able to take my shoes off and sit on the floor in the corner, and rock. Otherwise, I'd settle for a big comfortable chair - or even better, a big, welcoming couch we could both share.

Currently, I just have a small, hard chair to sit on. Needless to say, it's not very comfortable!

I would like a spare chair beside me so she can come over and sit beside me and hold my hand at some moments, maybe at the end of a hard session. I imagine I want this, but I don't know about the reality.

[meganmf15]

Id like to be able to bring my dog to lay on the couch beside me. Ive got the couch, pillow, and blankie. Just need my Maltese to make it perfect.

Your T's office has no window?

[Petra5ed]

This is probably off limits but I'd like "to do" my T. I would say let's lie on the floor together with pillows and blankets spooning one another. Let me gently kiss you all over and have lazy sex.

[roimata]

More pictures on the walls. She was going to put more up but has yet to do that (I think, I don't know, I haven't been there in a month and a half, maybe her room is an art museum now and I'm missing out)

A nice rug wouldn't hurt. The floor is carpeted but it's that hard knotted carpet they put in schools and stuff which, if you know what I'm talking about, might as well be concrete

[ScarletPimpernel]

I don't know if I would add anything. I would like her to get rid of some things: the pillows and all the cliche decorative items. I know she's "bland and boring" (like me!), but she could have chosen more unique items.

My Pdoc's office, on the other hand, needs an overhaul! It's a sad office. A little desk, her chair, 2 crappy chairs for clients, and an old bookshelf...that's all. No decorations whatsoever. And it's a newly remodeled corner office! I also wish she would wear her wedding ring! I thought she was married to her job until she told me she was pregnant with her 3rd child and is married.
