I have a hard time looking at my t when I'm talking. I can look right into her eyes when she is talking. I'm trying to let her know I'm really trying to listen and take in what she is saying. If I'm trying to really understand how I feel and tell her about something I just can concentrate enough if I have to look at her I have to look away.

Sometimes after a session, when I'm going over the session in my head I realize how much I was looking away. As I think about what I said I remember what I was looking at and it is never at her face.

I like in my couples counciling because then I can have time to actually look around her office and see what's really there. Even though in my individual session I look away a lot, I can't actually take in the details of what's around the room, but when my husband is talking I can actually calm down enough to read all the book titles on her shelf and stuff like that.
