Gazing

affinityMember

Today, I want to talk about eye contact and gazing in session. Specifically, what are your thoughts on it and how do you handle it?

I remember someone on the boards mentioning their experience with this three or four weeks ago. It got me thinking about making more eye contact with my T during session. My T has this way of looking at me sometimes that's so damn tender; I'd love to enjoy it more and connect in that non-verbal way.

However, I feel like my ability to maintain eye contact is getting worse. Last session I talked about a traumatic experience, and my eyes were all over the room. Then I tried to look at him when he was doing tender eyes, and it felt like the edges of the universe would unravel. Am I afraid to gaze? Why?
