T has asked me to close my eyes before, and I have automatically just done it on my own. Sometimes I need to close my eyes to escape, to access my intuition and innermost thoughts, to recompose myself, get back in my body, etc. It just struck me that the idea of closing my eyes in front of my current t never crossed my mind as being 'safe' or 'unsafe' (it has with past t's). I've just been doing it. And I do feel very safe closing my eyes in front of my t so I reckon I trust her more than perhaps I would like to admit.

As for your questions about how to feel safe closing your eyes in front of others... My thoughts are if you feel safe and trust someone enough, and, you have a need to close your eyes in front of them, you just take the leap of faith and do it. Remember, you are the one in control so you can always open your eyes in any given millisecond if you start to feel unsafe. If there is no feeling of safety and trust with someone, simply don't do it. Remain aware and do not put yourself in a vulnerable position.

Glad you are feeling peace and safety in closing your eyes in front of t.
