This is interesting to consider. I do think the therapist I saw when 16 offered that I could sit or lie down, whatever made me feel comfortable. I never did lie down that I recall. I think I would feel awkward doing it personally, and that it would be too paternal/maternal. I would want to feel on an equal level with my therapist if that makes sense. But, I guess I could see it also being useful since I get uncomfortable and turn away from the eye contact anyways a lot of the time. I almost think I need to get better at making eye contact and connecting with my therapist in a way, though. Interesting post, I clearly don't know and am just rambling about my thoughts.
