I'm so sorry TN that sounds awful and I think y coped with it amazingly well (I really don't think I'd cope AT ALL with either the photo thing or the interruption).I don't think my T has any pics in her office.... I can't say for sure because my eye contact is THAT bad I haven't even looked up / around the room. I can't even tell you if she has a desk in there or what colour the walls are or even the carpet... But given she shares the office (she works one day a week there) I doubt she would have pics up.
Personally, I couldn't cope with seeing pics - my T is totally 'blank slate' in that she doesn't talk about anything personal - I know her name, qualifications, what car she drives and where she works - that is it. (No seriously - that is all I do know!!!!).
When my T is back I plan it address some of my HUGE MASSIVE fears about finding out if she has a family / partner etc (ie by accident if I see her out in the malls one day etc)... I really couldn't have coped with pics in her office.
