I close my eyes while talking at least once every session... it's easier for me to talk without visual distractions. Back during year 1, I'd close my eyes to say things that I couldn't say while seeing her see me. (And that reason right there is why our phone sessions that we did in those 'middle years' while she lived in another state worked so well - because it was so much easier for me to talk over the phone where I couldn't see her seeing me.) She closes her eyes often too, like when I'm reading a dream to her, she'll close her eyes to try to 'see' it. It took some time after she moved back for me to get used to being seen so deeply again! There are times while we are talking about a dream when we will both just sit together with our eyes closed not talking just feeling the dream images. It's interesting.
