  • Patti Thompson says:

    USA:

    It was an interesting read. There were several opinions or perspectives that run contrary to my training.
    Nonetheless a good piece to use with new therapists as office design, it’s communications (conscious and unconscious) and symbolism are rarely discussed.
    Thank you
