I used to have problems with making eye contact with almost anyone. I would feel exposed or something. I looked away often and also look at peoples mouths or between the eyes. I can't remember, but I think I had had trouble making eye contact with my T at the beginning of therapy. That must've been.

But later on I got used to it and even started to like it, because I felt valued and seen. (I'm okay with eye contact in general now, I learned that from it). I looked my T in the eyes for the most part of the session. But not when I needed to focus or when I felt very vulnerable.
