I'm not real keen at lying down in therapy, but I have asked to turn my chair around and when she was fine with that, I did and we continued the session. It was kind of nice to know that she wasn't staring at my face and watching me as I allowed my mind to just wander--often with my eye closed and my posture relaxed. I much prefer to sit across from each other, face to face, but I do see the value of the other position from time to time.
