For reasons that I now can't remember, my therapist (who mainly works as a child psychiatrist) and I ended up discussing the fact that I still sleep with stuffed animals. I was not expecting him to end the session by telling me that he expects to see pictures of them (or, for that matter, for him to reveal that he immediately assumed that my bed was completely filled with stuffed animals).

#but now I'm seriously debating bringing the most significant one with me next week because he asked #it was embarrassing to own up to the fact that I sleep with animals but not embarrassing to think about bringing them to therapy with me #so I might bring her and she's a complete wreck #as a totally unscientific study it would be interesting to see if I open up more or differently with her #talking about a stuffed animal as if its animate #i know she's not #but old habits die hard and this one has been cooking for decades #thank god he usually sees kids i guess #adult child #things i judge myself for #my therapist #my therapy #child psychiatry ... now for adults!
