Weird moment with a friend as a therapist

I was having a hard conversation with my friend about her personal life. I basically just defaulted to using OARS. She told me sometimes she feels like I am just practicing or using my therapy skills on her and that it’s been going on a while. I told her I was sorry and she said she doesn’t mind and thinks it’s helpful. But now I am questioning things here. I don’t really remember how to be supportive of people outside of therapeutic framework. That being said, I also feel like OARS is very conversational and kind of no harm no foul. Please let me know your thoughts 😂

For my internship, I am working in a high school counseling enriched classroom. I will have my own space which is pretty large and will be there four days a week with not many other people using the room. My supervisor advised that I should redecorate the room as right now it basically just looks like a class room. How much of my own $ should I spend on this?

My mom’s friend is getting rid of this chair and I think it could be a great fit but don’t know where to put it before the school year starts in August. She advised going to a thrift store and Facebook marketplace.

I do my self continuing to work there following the internship but trying to gadge a budget and what’s expected of me here.
We discussed specifically getting an area rug, lighting and some comfy chairs for students.

I love interior design and agree I want the place to be nice so if anyone has any advise please let me know! ❤️

I can also get her to text me a photo of the current room if that would be helpful. It’s kind of an odd shape.
