After we have a deep or profound conversation we just look in each others eyes silently for a bit. He can hold my gaze longer than I can him.
It makes me feel very close to him.

This. My t and I tend to look directly at each other most of the time. If he actually gets me to the point of showing emotion, he looks away. He knows that it's hard for me to be that vulnerable with him watching me so closely. Which is strange to me as I feel very safe with him.
We've also had stare downs too waiting for the other one to talk first. I always lose. Pesky t.
I make eye contact with my ED t during most of the session as well. We tend to have more of a conversation. Eye contact brings the connection closer to me.
My pdoc is new to me. I watch everything she does as she has already made a careless mistake with my meds the first time that we met. She's apologized after a few interactions since then, but now I need to pay attention to everything that happens with her a little more closely.
