I do. It's nice. It's nice 'cause I can see her smile or when she laughs. or if she makes a funny expression ... or i can see her concern. Often when I'm in the no-eye-contact mode, i wish I did have an image of what she looked like when she said a certain thing.
plus, she's not bad to look at ... so that's nice too.
plus when I do look at her, and make eye contact, it's a postive sign for my therapy.... it was months before I could do it on a consistent basis.
when I do tell scary stuff, it is harder ... so I tend to peek when I think she's not looking at me...
