Amazon, what you said here is so true about how my therapy is going. I thought I would jsut get some coping stategies but that hasn't been it at all. Did your T mention all those things to you (eye contact...) or are they just things you've noted? I know my T sees all these little things but she rarely mentions them. I think she know I am scared to death when I realize she is able to read the discomfort and tension withi me. I think this is another one of those realizations that creates mixed feelings for me. Part of me really likes that she can read my body language and understand things that I want to communicate but can't. I am comforted by having her see ME. However the other side of me is shouting NO, NO, this is not good, you don't want to get used to this comforting it not real it will not last forever, it will bite you in the butt at some point.
