Hi TR,

I'm not sure I understand your question. You have been able to trust to close your eyes after many years with your therapist, but wonder if you can do this with others? Or are you just wanting to know if other people can also close their eyes in therapy? Sorry, I'm just not sure what you're needing and I want to answer the right question. I couldn't close my eyes for the first couple of years or more, but then one day I was so tired and just wanted to rest, so I closed my eyes and my therapist sat with me and it felt really safe. Since then, I can close my eyes no problem. But I don't know if that's what you really want to know? I don't have other people in my life to even know if I could close my eyes around them.
