oh, when i saw my first counsellor (at school, i was 16) i would take in my blazer and school hat (erm, i went to a prissy private school) and wear the hat and drape the blazer across the front of it so that i just talked into this curtain of black the whole time. so i TOTES win on lack of eye contact.

re: embarrassing stuff. catholic pdoc asking deli-in-same-sex-relationship whether sex was happening and if it was satisfying AND *cringe* what sort of acts were involved. this was early on with pdoc, and i still didn't know him enough to think of him as anything other than the pope, so it freaked me out a bit. i think i blushed bright red and hid my face in my bag.
