I could not tell you what the woman wears. It is fully possible she could sit there stark naked and I might not notice.
I could not tell you what I wore yesterday (although probably some version of a blue or white shirt and khakis - just from habit)

I know you claim to never know what the woman looks like, but you must admit you do have eyes and would notice a naked woman sitting in the same room as you.

Seriously - I really might not. I have failed to notice students who had shaved their heads, acquaintances who were 9 months pregnant, and a client who partially disrobed in court while sitting next to me.
I really just don't pay that much attention to what others look like or are or are not wearing. I do not believe I would recognize the woman out on the street. I do not look at her. Her personage is irrelevant to me Eyes are not the question - why would it matter to me what she is wearing or not wearing?

Partially disrobed client?
![]() I also can not notice fairly drastic changes in people I interact with regularly. And I recommend the French film La Moustache to anyone who's ever been in that spot (man shaves off mustache, wife doesn't notice, existential crisis ensues). |

Thank you for your response. I appreciate it. I believe its because his clothes reminds me of my dad and my granddad. I feel now he is my therapist where as before I had or still having a lovw transference. So it annoys me. One time he didn't wear these clothes and I fwlt relaxed but then when he wore these shoes that reminded.of my grandad I felted angry. Because it kinda sets off my transference. Im quite a visual person so I work on visually than say others would be by hearing. |

It would be more - is this info I need to register or is it not? The therapist's physical appearance falls into the latter category. As long as she is not getting within 3-4 feet of me - her physical appearance is simply not something to which I need give any attention.

When I first started therapy I was too shy to look at my therapist. There are a lot of reasons why someone may not directly look at a therapist.

I just wanted to add that I've worn the same set of trousers -- with spackle paint included -- for every single session since October of last year (and I've been going twice a week since Jan).
T has never commented on it. I also mostly rotate between the exact same two t-shirts (Hanes $5) -- one black and one grey -- but unfortunately, if I don't get around to doing my laundry, I have to pick other ones. T only commented once when I wore one (accidentally) with stuff written on it related to what I was talking that day. So, no, I don't find odd at all to wear the exact same clothes. For work, I have four sets of the exact same type of jeans and button-down shirts that are different varieties of pretty much the same thing. As for T, I notice the rotating variety of her glasses (I'm slightly obsessed with glasses although I don't wear them myself) -- most of which suck but one's kinda awesome -- and tell her so. And, she's sometimes said that when she's getting ready in the am, she's thought I'd comment on her glasses when she picked them (yes, we have rather awkward conversations......as is the case with the rest of my life). |
