Names required

So my T talked about trying to help me to find a way of staying present sometimes because as the work gets deeper there is a possibility I might 'check out' a bit more. We talked about me reaching out for something to hold but to be honest I get frozen, it is like I have checked out of my body when it happens, luckily not too often but it would still be a good idea to find a way to bring me back. So I suggested if I got a cuddly toy and if it could live with her she could bring it to me when she noticed it was happening. She said we could certainly do that.

So I got a purple teddy bear which smells of berries, I thought the scent might help too, but I need to think of a name. I wondered if anyone would care to offer a suggestion?

Jude, Graham, Devin, Leo, Henrie, Martin, Finnegan (Finn or Finny), Apollo

All my stuffies are boys and those are the names I like They sound kind, strong, and sturdy like I need them to be. I'll PM you the name of my grounding object (it would be too identifying to post in public).

Rowan, Ethan, Mason, popular baby names?

Bramble? Like a blackberry bush.

Eta because he is purple like a blackberry and smells of berries!

Berry? What name comes to mind when you look at the bear? Early in therapy I bought T and I matching teddy bears. Little ones. Hers sits on a shelf in her office; mine is in my home. I don't think we ever named them, but we talked about it.

LOVE this suggestion!!!

Or ask your T to name it. I asked her to name the stuffed otter she got me.

How about " Ribena " ?! I like " Apollo " too.

I really admire the way you do therapy. I'd like to have a therapy teddy too, but I don't think I will bring it up. I like Bramble.

"Beary" came to mind, but I like Bramble, too.

"Blue bear"

What nice ideas. " Blue - beary " - he'll help you bear things that make you sad.

Purple bear. Lame, I know. But it's easy to remember when you're dissociating!

Aww, Beary and Bramble are so cute!

Thanks all for your suggestions, I love the idea of a safe strong name as well as bramble and the beary ideas, both blue and purple. He might have to have lots of names, lol. I think I might ask my T to name him and then he can be Mr ...... Bramble bear, because I thought Mr Bramble sounded good.

Oh I like this idea!!
