I know that my T watches my body language for clues about what's going on with me during session. If I couldn't shift all over the room, sit, lay down, sit in his desk chair, sit on the floor, etc etc etc, he would lose that.

SO. Are you sure that it's not okay with your T if you lean over and rest for a minute? Maybe she is like my T - wanting you to sit up *sometimes* for some therapeutic reason, but not necessarily all the time. ?

I hide in therapy. A lot. Usually behind my hands, or just by closing my eyes. Sometimes I hold the pillow in front of me. But that doesn't work so great, what I really want is to hide my face. So much shame. So much.
