[Out There]

Is there something you would like to gift your T or the therapy room? Something you would like to be there? A book , piece of art , plant? My T doesn't accept gifts but if he did it would be one of my art mandalas.

I gifted the room a photo I took of hogwarts in the snow.
It's in a frame but hasn't made it on the wall yet

An invisibility cloak so I could just stay there. Forever.

bean bag chairs

A couch that isn't ridiculously hard to get out of.

I hate the woman's furniture as it is extremely uncomfortable -but I have no urge to give her a gift of any sort.
I don't generally have an urge to furnish other people's offices and hers is no exception.

I have in the past given her little things for the sand tray shelves, mainly so they'll be there for me to use but also so anyone else can.

I wish there was an afghan there and i have considered making one, but if/when i do it won't be for her it will be for me and I'll just bring it with me. I gave her one gift that was for her, a long time ago, and likely won't give another unless at some point we actually agree on terminating. Probably never ha.

I am coloring a picture for my T from the coloring book she gave me and I hope she displays it in her office. I have also had the urge to get a candle for her office but something that I could light during my sessions because I find candles calming.

Hmm. If I could add more windows and a view overlooking the ocean . . . But alas! We are in Dallas.

I actually briefly saw a pdoc one summer in Corpus Christi who practiced out of his home that was perched on a cliff hanging over the Gulf of Mexico. He had this HUGE window that I sat facing. I could have sat there for hours.

ten more square feet would be nice

My therapist is by the water, but it took me close to a year before I noticed the view. I thought her office was facing inward, to the city, and never looked out.

I do have something there that has a specific purpose and place in the room. It's worked out really well.

A hot tub, a minibar and a jukebox.

Margarita machine?

Paint. The walls could use a new layer of paint. Though it's not her fault, she doesn't own the room, her boss does.
A plant would be nice. And maybe some big photo on the wall, a photo of some mountains or sky.

But for real, I wouldn't give my T a gift. I don't know if she accepts them. I wouldn't know what to give her. And why would I give her something, she wouldn't give me a gift and she gets paid so.
I did gave her a thank you card when I was done with therapy. And when I'm done (or quit) with this therapy, I'll probably give her a card again.

My T's office itself is pretty cozy, but it's on the first floor. When the shades are open, you can see people walking by. For awhile, there was some sort of construction happening, and the construction workers would be literally right up against the window. It was totally weird, and also pretty loud. So I would gift my T the magical ability to be on a higher floor. 🙃 Also, maybe a comfy blanket just for me.

A better, softer blanket

[precaryous]

She needs new furniture...hers are uncomfortable.

I wish she had a container of koosh balls...or stress balls

I brought in a stress ball once. I left it there and it was stolen.

[nottrustin]

a keurig machine...she is not a coffee drinker so she doesn't own one in her home consequently her office. I find coffee relaxing so it would be nice to make some there instead of stopping before hand.

I wish my T had a more comfortable couch. She has one like this:

And there are literally like 5 decorative cushions that take up most of the sitting area on it. I sat there during my first session and it was super uncomfortable. Now I just sit in the armchair but I prefer to be sitting on a couch and T in a chair rather than us both in a chair. I don't know why...

*just waiting for someone who thinks their T is hot to come in and say something funny*

[ilikecats]

I'd like to give my T a necklace or bracelet or something so that she can always wear it and think of me. She gave me her necklace that she always wore as a transitional object, and I think it'd be cool to give her one too. Then we could wear each others' necklace and be connected and stuff.

I have thought several times that I would like to bring them both some Norwegian chocolate from back home, because it is the best chocolate ever, but then I'm like, what if they tell me they don't like chocolate? How will I ever be able to trust them again? I also worry it would be awkward or something.

For my uni therapist, I already ordered this customised mug for her online, which is just white with "The Authority" in black writing on both sides. I find it extremely hilarious because I called her that once as a joke when I was talking about her to my other therapist, it sort of just came out, and after that it just kind of stuck. But my uni therapist does not know I call her that. I have called her "boss" several times both to her face and in writing, however. I am going to sign the mug before I give it to her, because the university makes her keep these records of attendance and I have to sign a form at the end of every session, which has become sort of funny because she hates the forms and sometimes forgets them or brings the wrong one, and then makes me sign the right one twice in the following session. I very much intend to give her this mug, because I really think she will find it funny, but I'm not sure when I should give it to her. Maybe when I have finally managed to finish my coursework.

My new therapist has an office in the kid section of the clinic. I would like to be able to make a space for her in the adult section. It bothers me being the only adult patient in that section when I have my appointment.
