Reply to "Eye Contact in Therapy"

ninnMember

I've been thinking about this eye contact thing....

I think I can look everyone in the eye, except my T!

But, the last three sessions, I've really looked at her. And, sometimes I do that. Sometimes she looks back. Most of the time she does. Sometimes she looks down at her clipboard. Sometimes I think she does that when she is thinking about what to say to me. I think she thinks when I gaze into her eyes, I'm aching for a response, encouragement, advice, something from her....so it feels like she is wanting to help me. Most of the time I feel great comfort when I do make eye contact with her. She has a calmness about her. It helps.
