Tomorrow morning is my therapy session, which means, among other things, that I'm picking out what to wear. The last thing I want is to be late to my session because I'm having one of those mornings where the simplest decisions are paralyzing. Even worse, what if I could not handle the stress of a decision that early in the morning and had to call my therapist's office to cancel? ("I can't decide what to wear...no, really...I can't decide what to eat either...I can't decide anything this morning...")
Then it dawned on me --- I should design a special line of clothing for women to wear to their therapy sessions! Of course, I have absolutely no fashion sense and couldn't design something even as simple as a bath towel, but why should I let that stop me?
Here are some of the features this wonderful line of therapy clothes will have:
- Comfortable. And comforting. Most outfits can also double as security blankets
- All items are washable and easy care. Can handle copious tears.
- All items are completely non-trauma-inducing and non-triggering. No tight neck openings to pull over the head, no noisy zippers or velcro.
- Keeps the wearer safely covered and feeling unexposed.
- Attractive and yet not too attractive. Actually NOT attractive -- who wants to attract their therapist? ICK! OK, so most of the clothes are pleasant looking.
- Some nondescript styles, frumpy styles, and baggy styles for those who would feel safer in such styles.
- Extra-large hoodies can be used to hide the face.
- Sleeves are specially designed to wipe away tears you don't want the therapist to see. ("Me? Crying? Of course not!")
- Each outfit comes with a "Feelings Cheat Sheet" concealed in the sleeve. ("How am I feeling? Hmmmm....let me see...I feel inebriated. Oh, wait. I don't have my reading glasses on. I think I meant to say infuriated. Yeah, that must be how I feel.")
