My therapist's office is the place I go when I need a safe space for creative visualization. The light and room colors are so wonderfully soothing. No matter what time of day or what the weather, there is just a wonderful glow to the room. It's like a Thomas Kinkade painting. And tomorrow is my last visit there before he moves.
I feel like I'm losing a good friend. Or even part of the therapy experience. I'm afraid it just won't feel as safe somewhere else. He's not really that effective over the phone. How do I know he can be magic anywhere but in that office? In fact, maybe it's the office that's magic, and he's just there.
There's a lot of objectively rotten things in my life going on right now. But somehow losing that office is right at the top of the list for me, and I suspect it's got a lot to do with my recent upsurge in anxiety, although there are lots of contributors. And yet that feels so foolish. It's just a room. But it's not just a room. :(
