You know for me this thread is morphing into much more than just a seating preference in therapy.

I thought of this too.

I don't think I actually want to lie on the couch. I think what I really want is to feel comfortable enough to do it, if I wanted to, and not worry about how it might be perceived by my T. That is a long sentence that probably doesn't make sense. I feel the same way about simply moving from my current position (furthest point from my T, nearest the door). I am no longer worried about her violating my personal space or making sure I have a direct route to leave quickly. These were concerns only during the 1st few sessions. Even though those concerns are gone, the behavior remains--limiting my seating options. I am aware of this behavior and it bugs me; but I still sit in the same spot session after session. WHY?

This same behavior pattern keeps me from doing a lot of things.
