Terry33 your Ts office does not sound very comfortable. Doesn't sound like a place where I would feel comfortable. Sounds a lot like my grade school principal's office that I was a frequent guest.

My t has a comfy couch in between two comfy chairs. I sit in the chair by the door, because it faces the windows, and I like to stare out windows. She has cushions which I sometimes use, or put on the couch if i don't want to. She has a nice room, nice colors and drfitwood curtain rods, with delicate mauve curtains. Nice to look at them and the windows.
Last time we went in there it looked different, we thought the chair we sit in is different but she said it was the same. it was hard to sit down because it seemed all wrong.
i want to see my old t instead.

Oh, good, someone else does that too. I tend to be a very fidgety person, and playing with something in my hands calms me. So I often pick up these smooth, polished rocks T has on the end table next to where I sit and fiddle with them, roll them over in my hand, feel their edges and surfaces, put them down in different patterns on the table, etc. I've wondered sometimes if it bugs T to see me fidget with his things, but he has never mentioned it.

My T's office has a couch across from her chair (she sits in her desk chair but turns it away from the desk) and a fancy red chair right next to where she sits. At first I sat on the couch but now I sit in the chair because it feels safer. I can't play with any of the things on her desk but the whole other half of the room is full of toys (she works with a lot of kids) and I always pick out a stuffed rabbit to hold/fidget with. Her office has no windows and that makes me really happy, my previous therapist had windows halfway around the office and people would always be looking inside, that made me nervous.

My T has two wingchairs and a couch. When I come in she motions me to one of the chairs and takes the other one.

I always wonder who uses that couch. It's very overstuffed and looks like it would be hard to get up out of!

the wingchair she has me sit in is too big for me, if I sit back in it my feet don't touch the floor and I don't like it. So I sit on the front edge of it, which is tiring for my back. Still, sitting forward like that enables me to hold my handbag on my lap so I can hide behind it, lol
