As a fidgety person, I have always struggled to sit still during sessions. I know in school they always cram it down your throat to be open body language and perfectly still, but I can’t do it. I’ve found that using a fidget during sessions lets me focus on what my clients are saying better as well as observing them. I also can keep the rest of my body still if my hands are busy. I haven’t had a client tell me that I can’t or that they don’t like it when I ask them if they are okay with me using one. I guess my question is, do you all feel that it’s inappropriate for me to use a fidget? Too distracting for the client?
