do you regularly sit next to your therapist on the couch?

My T has sat on the same couch as me a few times doing trauma work, when we're looking at something together that I've brought in. And recently in our last session before our big break, when I broke down and cried, he sat next to me on the couch and held my hand.

I don't have any ET stuff going on, though - total parental transference.

I find therapy interesting when we sit in different places than we usually do - like in the session when we played Uno on the floor, when I returned to my usual seat, I felt really far away from him, so I shifted to the side of the couch closer to him - but then the session felt weird. I sit in the farthest corner of the couch from his chair at every session (except that one). Which strikes me as being really representative of the push/pull thing I have going on all the time in therapy - I want so badly to be connected with him, yet I stay as far away from him as I can when we're together. Huh.
