I'm curious about whether others' therapists have pictures of their families on display at their offices. When I was seeing my current therapist at a different office, she had a picture of herself and her two-year-old (I'm guessing) son, and one of her and her husband. Both looked like professional portraits, and she had her arms wrapped around her son and husband. The pictures were clearly visible from where I sat, and I would often glance over at them (because I barely made eye contact and they happened to be in my field of vision). I found it painful to look at those pictures - sort of stark reminders of what I lacked in my own life.
I took a break from seeing her, and when I went back a couple of years later, she was in a different office. Now she has pictures of her just her son and her daughter on her desk. I've been trying to figure out how I feel about this.
Do your therapists have pictures of their families on display?
