I have a very difficult time making eye contact in therapy and always have. Most of my Ts have been very good about it. I did have one that seemed obsessed with my inability to make eye contact and would bring it up in every session (giving me less time to talk about important issues.)

This T also didn't seem to understand that my problem was limited to therapy. Even after I told him this was the case, when I was telling him about job interviews, he kept asking me how I could manage an interview without making eye contact with the employer. But that was never a problem for me.
