My pdoc told me he uses my level of eye contact to determine how depressed I am...I can't look at him when I am feeling bad, but when I am feeling pretty good I can make eye contact. Matter of fact, he is kinda cute, so I like looking at him.

My T. is kinda the same way...sometimes, when I am talking about something difficult I have to really force myself to look at her. At times, when I am thinking about the past, it is easier for me to remmeber if I don't look at her. She never tries to make me look at her--she lets me do what is comfortable for me.
