Excuse the pun, but I was in a store a few days ago, and in one place in particular it smelt just the same as my T's office - A certain mix of flowers or herbs I think. It was a very strange sensation, I could hardly tear myself away from that part of the shop.
It's been a month since our final session, and I miss her :(

That happens to me. Sometimes I'll be out and run into someone that wears the same purfume as her. I know it makes you sad, but try to think of it in terms of a reminder of the good experience you had with your T. :-)

Several years ago I was visiting my mother when thoughts of my T kept drifting in and out of my consciousness. It took me a while to figure it out, but my mother was wearing the exact same perfume my T always wears. It totally upset my balance. In my mind, the two of them are so different!! But, in actuality, I've learned they are both my mother. I just don't want them to be the same one!
My mother never wears that perfume anymore. I don't even see the bottle on her shelf anymore. Guess she got the message when I told her.
Sometimes it's spooky how my therapy imitates my life.

My therapist has two offices. One is in an old, turn of the century office building and there are all kinds of professionals in there, including massage therapists and people who do facials and such. So it smells like candles and scented herbs and such. It is pleasant.
His other office is upstairs in a converted Victorian House and it feels like a tree house. It smells like spice cookies and pine trees. I much prefer this. But I notices at the mall this past weekend, the same sorts of smells.
Hmm...so maybe shopping IS theraputic?! More evidence...
