My t and I have good eye contact during sessions. She looks at me almost the entire time, but there is a gentleness and softness to them. I feel comforted from her gaze, it's not an intimating stare. At first I didn't look at her at all, but her eye contact draws me in. We look at each other most of the session, except when I am ashamed, fearful, embarressed or sad. I look away automatically when I feel like that. She tries to draw me back by still engaging in looking at me with a warm, non-judgmental gaze.
