Okay, so it's not as good as when T actually gives you something. But desperate times call for desperate measures, LOL.
First, you need an IPOD/MP3 Player or Walkman. Take your IPOD (etc.) to your session with T. Make sure you are a little early. If you are like me, just sitting in the waiting room can be calming, knowing that T is just around the corner. So, choose a song to play while you are sitting there. Make sure you focus on your calm feelings when you listen to the song. I listen to the song later during the day or week and it truly has a calming effect! I'm curious to see if this works for anyone else, so if you try it, let me know. Also, this is something you can do without having to manipulate your T, hee hee. It gets tiresome trying to extract items from T for your own personal benefit, LOL. So, this one is totally in your control. People who are whole just don't get this transitional object thing. Good luck and let me know if it helps you! |

Wow, I love this idea.
Sure beats taking the bathroom key (which I unconsciously did again and returned again). Another idea: Draw a picture of your T from memory. This summer I am working with 4 & 5 year olds at a summer camp and when they miss their mommies I encourage them to draw pictures of them. I did this. I drew a picture of T sitting in his chair and then I showed it to him. He goes "very nice." I felt like such a little kid. LOL

Yeah I have a song that reminds and comforts me regarding T. I was driving to T one day with music playing in the car and a track came on entitled "I'll stand by you" by the Pretenders. Ever since whenever i hear it it reminds me of the journey TO T

Sol, I have a song that I play on my drive to therapy. I don't know how I started on this, but the song has come to be associated with going to therapy for me, and as such, is a very positive thing. It helps me get in the mood for therapy.

I like the new one "Say what you need to say" that's on the radio a lot these days. I don't have an i-pod *shock*.
I'm still trying for the aardvark.... and maybe even be brave enough this time to ask for a phone message. I was in yoga the other day and when I rolled up the mat i had used, it said T's first name on it =) I told her and she was glad to know it was still around as it had been commondeered. =) __________________ Credits: ChildlikeEmpress and Pseudonym for this lovely image.   alt="Universal Life Church | ULC" border="0">
