I would not eat or drink while at the appointment. The first woman had coffee for herself but never offered it to me. The second offered tea or water and finally stopped because I always said no. Eating or drinking with a therapist would have made it seem too familiar. Also, the first one would have probably thought it meant we were bonding or something awful like that.
If I had still been smoking - I would have smoked at an appointment. That would have been very useful. __________________ Please NO @ Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

T and I have coffee together, sometimes she makes other times I bring. Once she was eating some crackers in session and offered me some. I took them so as not to offend her but the were dry and really disgusting, plus I was having major food issues at the time.

Current T is always drinking coffee. He has tea available in his waiting room, which I've had a couple times (not the best selection--I once asked if he had anything caffeinated, and he found some in the back). Usually I just bring in some fizzy water (like Perrier or similar) to drink. |

I'd be bothered if my T ate during session. None of mine ever have. I have no issue with them drinking something (current T, coffee; ex-MC, coffee, soda, water, juice; ex-T, water sometimes). But eating seems like a different thing that would bother me. |

Last session I was really hungry, and wanted to stop at McDonald's to get some apple slices, but then i decided chomping on apples during session would be disruptive. I'm not sure which would have been more disruptive - my growling stomach or the apple slices.

i hate chewing noises...so the apple slices would be way more disruptive for me

We both have earl grey (I know -very British except hes Dutch !)
Also water and oatcakes(he’s diabetic so sometimes weetabix so I join him!) Doesn’t affect talking and actually stops my stomach being so loud from nerves and decreases feeling I’m going to fart very loudly if I move! |

I love the Keurig in the waiting room which has coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Something about having a warm cup of free liquid makes me indescribably happy at the beginning of session. T often waits a minute while I fix it.
Neither of us have eaten in session, but when he was recovering for some kind of stomach surgery he drank these health food store smoothies designed to build up his fat reserves |

If it was a particularly tough session, I tend to grab something I like. Usually either something sweet (with lots of chocolate), a coffee (my T smells like coffee a lot and it reminds me of him) or if I'm not doing well a beer, which is probably never a good idea.
