This is a great thread.
I saw a therapist during my freshman year of college. I remember him telling me that I could sit anywhere I wanted. That his office was a safe place. I remember that I wanted to sit on the floor, in the corner of the room. That seemed safer, somehow. But I never, ever did that. I sat very still in my chair and tried to disappear into myself.
Now that I'm in therapy again, I'm acting the same way. Sitting very, very still. Afraid to move. I hope that someday I'll be able to move around.
