I have been going to my t for two years, and up until recently I never looked at him, and there were even times that I would look in the complete opposite direction. I have recently, in the last month, started medication, and I have now noticed a change in how I interact with him. I saw him today and I would say that I was making eye contact for the entire session. It is one of the many positives that I have noticed since going the medication route.
ETA - I want to add that I don't think that there is anything wrong with not making eye contact in the t interaction, and it is not something that I ever thought that I needed to work on. It's just something that I noticed changed, and for me, at least today, it made me feel more at ease in the room.
