My rather wild male H exhibits the eye resting behavior frequently as well as “stretching his back” should this occur in a non sitting position.
I did not call T out on it in session because typically if he does something out of character and I simply pause he will explain himself. And... I do not think well on my feet with T. I am debate/philosophy trained and can be very snappy with questions or retorts in some situations... often landing me in trouble. With T I find myself in a position of open mindedness and acceptance, at least to “try an idea on” as my usually snappy, defensive self does not leave space for self reflection or growth. So, in the company of those that have earned my trust I am often rather slow to react.
I have not gotten a response from him yet, but I had told him I was OK with fewer and more delayed replies several weeks ago as he was adjusting to video sessions, then as soon as he had that kind of down he started seeing some clients in person.
I can’t really see him ignoring my anger as he knows if left to my own devices I will snowball my emotions. He may too need time to step back from his emotion reaction to being called out before he can offer a thought out reply.
