There's a loveseat against the wall for clients and my T sits in her couch-chair angled towards the couch. I sit on the side of the couch that is closest to her. We sit 2-3ft. apart.

We have both sat on the floor before because I brought my puppy and was letting her run around on the floor. We were sitting about 4ft. apart.

Neither of us have taken off our shoes.

I sit with my feet on the floor, cross one of my legs, sitting on one foot, or both legs crossed. I would never lay down. My T will sit in these positions too it just depends on how she's feeling, what she's wearing, and if she's leaning forward towards me. I never lean forward.

She has also sat next to me on the couch: her facing me and I faced forward. And we have also practiced deep breathing standing up: either facing each other about a foot apart or side by side a few inches apart.

My T is a client centered therapist. We're both females.
