I have brought lots of things. I have brought my stuffed rabbit a few times. Sometimes I left her in my bag and never said I brought her, but sometimes I got her out to hug her. My T thought it was totally normal, and he encouraged me to bring it whenever I wanted to. It was to help the little girl part feel safe in his office.
I have also brought photos to show and tell. And drawings and things like that. I have left a drawing in my T's office, hidden, that only he and I know is there, so that my little girl can stay there when she wants.
And my T has this stress ball that he gives me sometimes to hold and would have let me take it home, but I didn't want to. I have a stone he gave me so I can remember he's there.
