I am super fidgety all the time...more so when I'm really anxious. My T uses it as a gauge for how anxious I am about something. My T does not comment on it in a negative way, because she knows that it's something I've always been "scolded" about and I've always tried to control. I'm trying to learn to be more authentic, more myself, and "myself" is fidgety...so my T encourages it.

If I'm way more fidgety than usual, or my posture is more rigid than usual, my T will make an observational comment on it and just ask what's going on at that moment. But, she never makes a judgement about my body language. It's one of the many things I so appreciate about my T.

Because I'm hyper aware of my own body language, my T doesn't really need to point out to me how it might be interpreted by others. I already know that, and use it to my advantage (to either push people aware, or allow a connection). My challenge is to just "be" and not fit my body language to the situation, as I've always done.
