My T has a nice corner office with two huge floor-to-ceiling windows on two of the four walls. My first few weeks he didn't have the blinds closed all the way and I felt like a fish (or maybe a lobster, lol) on display. I finally had to ask him to close them and I've never seen them open since. Funny how he could be so inconsiderate, he's very considerate in all other areas.

But back to the OP, my T has a wingback chair about 6 feet away. I wish we could sit on the floor or on the same couch. Less formal might help me open up. He's offered to take walks but I've never taken him up on his offer. Even though it's his suggestion it feels a bit too much like a boundary crossing.
