Wow, that sounds difficult. I don't have any experience with changing offices, but from what I have read from others, it does sound like fair game to talk about. I don't think I would like to see my T's home. I really prefer not to know much about him, although perhaps that's a way of defending myself against getting too too close?
I do recall the first meeting with him. He has a pretty good sized office. I felt like he was too far away, but the other choice was the chair right next to him, which felt too close, was not facing him, which I prefer, and was right next to the door, which felt too vulnerable. I guess I like to see the door...as if someone would ever come in... :)
Funny, though. His couch has no throw pillows or throws. For the first time, last week I sat with my legs tucked under me. I was wearing shorts and it just seemed silly to me to sit all prim and proper dressed so casually. I kicked off my sandals and put my legs up and commented that I wish he had pillows. HE DOES! He just keeps them hidden. Well how was I supposed to know? I'd have brought my own before I ever asked him for one! Sheesh, a whole wasted year when I could have been more comfortable. AND, he never offered me one. I still will have to ask! I doubt I will. I have definite issues about other people's space and things versus mine. Don't mess with his stuff, not even the coasters. Sometimes I even bring a hankie as I feel like I go through Kleenex so much. Weird, eh?
Take care and good luck in discussing this with your T. I hope she is receptive.
