I lie on a couch. I'd thought I would post about it since very few people do. It was scary at first but after awhile I got use to it. It took about 6 months of discussing lying down before I mustered the courage to take the plunge.

The main difference I feel is freedom. After the initial fear had dissipated, I found it was easier to talk about difficult subjects because I didn't have to see my t's face or reaction. Emotions bubble up to the surface and there is less guarding of the gate. Not to say that therapy is ever easy, it's hard work. There have been a few time I decided to sit and I found it distracting. I like shutting my eyes and just feeling my way around my therapy.

That's awesome. After a year and a half of my T wanting me to lie on the couch, and me not wanting to... we finally figured out why-- because I need to look at him. It's quite amazing. But now that we both have an understanding of that, I a bit safer about experimenting with the couch. Like maybe trying it, but knowing that if I don't like it, there is something better to go back to.
