Yes I feel totally safe closing my eyes in front of my therapist I do it all the time when we do EMDR. I actually prefer to have my eyes closed. What I have a hard time doing is looking him in the eyes. I rarely ever look him in the eyes usually because what I'm saying is filled with shame and I have to look away. Or I'm dissociating and I have to look away. One of my parts though she always stares him in the eyes whenever she's talking but I rarely ever do. Sometimes what I'm saying something really difficult I haven't closed my eyes then makes it easier I don't want him to see me.
