You guys didn't start doing this at the first or second session did you? Or maybe you did?  And, are you and your T of the same gender? I'm female... T is male... 2nd session...
Maybe I will take the tack next time that was suggested before, asking... "Are your feet bothering you?" (Ha - then if he says no, I can say, "ok, well they're bothering me - so maybe we can keep our shoes on?"  )

I'm female, my therapist is male. I'm a bit of a hippie - I sometimes just don't wear shoes at all, and usually wear sandals. We started sitting on the floor, since his chairs are awful, and he asked if I minded if he took his shoes off, which I don't at all. Now it's just routine.
I've never even thought about the "first step to undressing" thing. If a therapist told me that because I took my shoes off, I think I might pass out from laughing.
I don't imagine a t would have a problem keeping their shoes on if it bothered a client.
