In reply to Change of therapy location, posted by cubic_me on June 10, 2004, at 4:56:25
In the summer of this year (September-January in Aust.) some day's got really shockingly hot and my T's office had no air conditioning and of course its customary to have the door closed. So for a few random sessions we were in a different room because it was someone else's office in the building who had air conditioning and they weren't there on the day. We even joked about him stealing it and putting it in his office.
I really liked this change of scenery because the chairs and sidetable were in different positionings, the therapist who usually used this office worked with children as there were drawings on the walls and coloured pencils on the table (which I loved!). I felt so inqusitive about it all and his attitude seemed abit bah humbug or not really interested in the fun childlike things about the room. This T even had Christmas cards hanging on the wall that they had recieved. I liked it.
However the weather is cold now and we're back in his office every week. Theres one nice coloured poster of fish on the back of his door but i dont directly see it from where I'm sitting.There's room for improvement lets say!
Also, lately every week that I've been in his office his 2 chairs are at different angles to each other each time which makes me think maybe during the day he has too much time on his hands :P they're always shuffled around. I much prefer facing straight on than looking sideways at him.
So to get to my point, I really like a change of scenery and I think it does sound special that you're his first client after the new move.
Oh also with my T just reccently our sessions have moved to a different day of the week, at the timeslot for his last session of the day and each week I've come out to an empty car park and the akwardness of walking past his girlfriend who's waiting to drive him home (he doesnt drive). Does change of time and day fit into the same catagory as a move? Sometimes I like a bit of a change other times its just...akward.Ooh ohh is there new carpet? does everything smell new?? :D I think I'd like to try a new office. Maybe there's better vibe or energy to it. Good luck!
