These highly educated people to whom we are entrusting our deepest secrets- and our hopes for better mental health- really do wear some hilarious things! I think Wittgenstein's is so funny: I know it's Holland, but I've never heard of a man wearing a jumper- not to mention some of his other combinations! And Tamar's with his buttons popping open- obviously no undershirts there!
My new T startled me at first by wearing sort of ragged chinos and casual short-sleeved shirts with stripes and plaids- unlike the first T who always wore grey dress trousers, a dress shirt, tie and jacket. I thought they were a bit loud, and the colors seemed to clash sometimes, but he did seem professionally dressed. On the days he taught, he wore either a grey or blue suit, and looked really nice then.
With my new T, I got up my courage to tell him that I was startled by how informally he dressed. I actually said that I was probably old-fashioned, and needed to get up to speed on what T's actually wear now. He told me that he was glad I had told him. THEN, he changed completely! Now, at least on the days I go, he is wearing the same dark grey suit, with a white shirt, but no tie. It seems like a sort of pretend dress-up- for me-and I have to admit that I'm a bit uneasy. I just keep reminding myself that it's my job to say my thoughts and feeling, but.....
