I found that just not having our shoes on one time made the whole thing feel different, though it was just a platonic coziness for me.

Thanks for understanding. I didn't want to call attention to it, because it was near the end of session, and I didn't want to leave on a weird note. But just something about him demonstrating his breathing and posture...it just had an effect on me. (As in...not entirely platonic...) As I mentioned in the In Session Today I just posted, maybe part of it was also that it was the first time he'd mentioned his own anxiety issues--not so much in relation to the breathing, but other stuff. I think I just had this sense that he was totally pulled together and just doing psychology from a curiosity point of view. And also that he was kind of arrogant about stuff. But now I'm thinking maybe he understands some of it from his own perspective...
Or maybe my whole reaction was mainly about him moving his body and breathing intensely...
