>The window slopes from the floor out at an angle, so I keep wanting to jump (14th floor).
I'm having trouble picturing this, please forgive me...but the 14th floor is pretty high in the air. I don't have a fear of heights or anything, but I think I would have a problem with therapy in a room with a big window that high up. Tell me that you are sitting with your back to the window and not facing it...
> You can hear everything said in the hall, ergo I assume the opposite is also true.That always worries me. My therapist's office suite is quite small, with (I think) four private offices and a shared one, and I always get a little freaked out about what you can hear. The worst thing - when someone goes in the bathroom, which is right beside her office, you can hear them pee. I hate that. It freaks me out, even though I try to pretend I can't hear it. And I wonder what they can hear from in there...
> It smells funny.
You never realize how important the smell of a place is until you go to a different place that is supposed to provide the same comfort but has a different smell. It was one of the first things I noticed about my therapist's office - not that it smells bad or anything, just different from my therapist's office in Charlotte. Now, though, I'm used to it.
I'm sorry this has been so hard for you. Did you address any of this with him?
