Well, I for one am glad I'm not the only one.

My previous T's (all three of them) could tell how uncomfortable I was about different topics by how much I looked at them. In therapy, I'd look over their shoulder - so it made it look like I was looking at them, but I really wasn't. The scary times were when they got really close because they were trying to tell me something and I wasn't paying attention and it was important. Then I had to look at them, and it scared the heebeejeebies out of me!

Sometimes I can look at them, but it's usually when it's not something that I'd likely get emotional about. Whenever I start to cry (which took a long time to be "comfortable" with... still am not really) I can't look at them ... too scary.
