Emailed T this morning saying I won't be coming today as I've got flu.
She replied thanking me for letting her know and wishing me better.

But I had a 💭. What if she said "OK, I'll pop over to you and we can talk at your house" 😂

I can't say whether I'd want that or not 😂

Anyone else?

I'd say yes in an instant. It would blur the boundaries a bit for me but I'd worry about that later.

Hope you feel better soon.

Edit: I did have a T once who would do this for clients who had a disability or other mobility problems that made it harder for them to visit her but being a regular arrangement as a client you would be used to it. .

I'm thinking I'd have to rush out and get new pj's,
Possibly with little prints of pavlovs dog.

But haven't the energy, so I'll go with a no on this one 😂

Gah, no!! I don't want anyone around when I'm sick. But, sickness aside, still no! I'd have to clean and stress...no.

No way sick or not I'd be too embarrassed for my therapist to see my dirty house.

I have loved the times when my therapist has come to my house. She has been over probably five times, at least. She has been able to learn so much more about me by being in my environment. She said she loved it. We have spent hours going through my photos and things that are important to me. We also played xbox once. And I have cooked her a little snack several times.

For those concerned about having to clean house.
Ts hse is messy. More than mine.
She's too arty to worry about mess.
From disorganisation comes...,

This may not count as therapy "at home", but my therapist has definitely seen my room before. It's a residential school and sometimes he does dorm cleanliness checks. We don't do therapy in my room though. If he's on duty as dorm staff for some reason he might see me while hanging out in the common room, but it would be weird and too intimate to be in my room together!

both of my ex-Ts were willing to do home visits and used that as selling points to their private practices. they were mainly catering towards the older population in my community who possibly could be a bit home home bound and might struggle to get to regular session. my last ex-T did come to my house for a session, not because i was unwell, but we arranged it as a way to help build rapport and so he could get an idea and better understanding of my personal space, similar to what Starry Night said. his visit went well, but i do recall doing a lot of cleaning before he came to make sure everything was just right before he came

No, I would not want to - I would not want my T to literally intrude into my private life.

On the other hand, I have never missed a session due to a sickness - we have always had a phone session instead.

I can have phone sessions. But I don't like it. T knows this from old. So she always offers email.

I'm still unsure what my reaction works be if she said "OK, I'll come to you". Which she wouldn't.

This is more about pondering what I'd really feel if it were to have happened. I guess I'm more ambivilant about it. Would be to easy to say simply yes or no. There's a lot inbetween I feel too.
I think I'd love this discussion with T if she'd offered, if I'd refused... Would be very enlightening.

No. I wouldn't be able to relax. I'd go into hostess mode.

I suppose you could have this discussion with T.

One thing that I've come to like very much about therapy is the possibility to have all sorts of discussions without any real consequences or actually having to do anything.
