This is weird to me, and I'm curious if anyone else has experienced it.

I had my second session with the new T. It actually went surprisingly well, despite what I thought might be some hiccups at the beginning... and I'm feeling sort of cautiously optimistic and (dare I say) hopeful.

But... early in the session, he casually kicked off his shoes.

I would say I'm shocked... but I realized, my (very long time ago) previous male T would do the same thing. (I can't remember a female T every doing this though!!!) There's no talking about it, it's not like they ask... "hey, are you ok if I kick off my shoes?". It's right in the middle of us talking and then... you know, rustling around feet struggling to be free.

I'm not really sure that I'm 100% comfortable with this. It feels weird. If a client did it, I feel like it would be interpreted badly. Plus, while he's struggling to get his shoes off (without touching them, all by feet wiggling - no hands!) I can't help but wonder if he's paying attention to what I'm saying, or if he's just thinking, "darn it, that left shoe NEVER comes off".

I can't actually remember if/when/how he put them back on... maybe when I was looking for my check at the end? I don't know.

So, I'm dying to know now... do your Ts remove their shoes in session? Are you ok with it? Would you say something if it happened at a second session?
