I think that T's should have pet therapy as standard practice. My old T used to bring her old dog and at first he didn't like me, but I didn't take it personally. I think HE needed therapy :-)
And my very first T, back during the last ice age, had a lovely dog in her office too, and had a collection of stuffed toys for people to hug during sessions. She had to keep the dog outside the office because he suffered from flatulence...
Makes me think that at the very least I should be bringing something to hug and pet during my own sessions now, since my anxieties have been running high. I don't think my cat would cooperate, and I know she wouldn't fit in my purse.
