Hi,
I'm a new user here as of a few days ago and have been browsing the forum and decided to post a question I have about bringing something up in therapy that is difficult/embarrassing/boundary pushing to do so. I'm hoping and wondering if anyone else has dealt with this feeling or may have some more insight to how I can ask or how to bring it up or if I even should.
I went to see my therapist about a year ago and stopped going about a month and a half into therapy with her and now a year and a half later I'm back in therapy with her and have been seeing her for about the same amount of time and want to continue to do so...so I'm guessing that is a good sign that I really do want to work things out and get better and recover. 
Anyways...my issue has recently come about that I feel like my therapist is too far away from me. It's not a huge office, but her office is bigger than the one she was in the first time I went to her because between that time and this time she moved offices. I sit on the couch and she has a nice size chair between...but to the side..between the couch and where her desk is on the other side and she usually sits in her computer chair close to her desk across the room from me. So for some reason I feel the need to want her closer to me during our sessions. I'm guessing since I'm opening up more and letting her in more it must be a natural response to building more trust with her I'm guessing...? I'm wondering if it is even okay to ask her to sit closer? I almost brought it up and asked during our last session this past Tuesday, but chickened out.
So I'm wondering what others reading this may think and what you think my approach should be with this...if I should approach it at all.
