Well, I got into his schedule faster than either of us expected! I saw him yesterday, and he was just as good as I thought. We're off and running on some big topics already. I loved that he brought up something from our intro session that I didn't bring up myself, but that it's true I needed to talk about.
Ironically, it turns out that his current office is probably temporary. But we talked about offices, and I'm confident that he won't be moving to a less appealing space. He seems really thoughtful about the environment he creates. He was surprised, when I described some of the offices I'd seen, that there were otherwise good Ts who didn't pay more attention to that. Me too!
I also started my internship yesterday, and the counseling office there is a nightmare. It's actually a staff member's actual office, so it has a desk with lots of papers and stuff lying around. And it has these old stiff, dirty chairs, and gross pale greenish-yellow paint. We're apparently not allowed to pain the walls, because the whole center uses the same paint (for what reason, I cannot imagine). They've done what they can with it, by hanging some wall quilts, and adding soft lighting. But, man, that is *not* an ideal setting. I'm at least going to try to find some better chairs.
Thanks everyone for following along, and for your feedback and discussions. It was very helpful. I'm very happy with where I ended up in this process. :)
