My T has a chair, and I sit on a loveseat. We're facing each other...I'd guess 10 feet away. But if I get emotional, or look like I might, she'll come sit beside me on the loveseat and rub my leg, my back, or play with my hair. I have done some dissociating and I think that's her way of "keeping me there" before it happens. When I'm on the loveseat by myself I always take my shoes off, and take up as little space as possible, as my T would say. So I have my feet under me, yes. I have only sat on the floor when I've brought my dog.
