Lol! I was wondering what was so strange about jumpers - yes a jumper (British English) is a sweater.

What is a jumper in US English? A jump suit - a mechanic's outfit?!

Yes.. and pants in British English aren't 'trousers' but underpants.

I'm sure in the beginning my T dressed more formally and as time has gone on he seems to have become more relaxed. Perhaps T's do dress somewhat for their clients.

As for his office - I like the strange objects and pictures. I can't see very well, so on one occasion he let me explore his room for 10 minutes while he was absent. It was a weird experiment but it made me feel more comfortable. I asked him just the other session about something on the far side of the room. So, he made me go over to it and take a look - I thought they were panpipes but instead it was this strange Tanzanian wood-carving of a mother and child. He travels a lot so his room is full of interesting things.

Out of sight from his clients (patients) but opposite his desk in an alcove he has this big abstract painting of a naked woman - of course I've seen it as I was allowed to wander around his office - I'm glad I don't have to look at it ordinarily though.

Perhaps now to reverse the question - what do you wear for your T?

I'm afraid I make about as much effort as my T. I usually turn up in running shoes, trousers and a t-shirt (I cycle part of the way so need to wear comfortable clothes).

It's funny, I want to change my image. I still wear teenage grunge but want to look more womanly - one of my concerns is that if I do change, he'll think I'm doing it for him!
