I have noticed myself wanting to pull my legs up onto the couch at my T's office to get in a fetal position as well. I think it's perfectly normal. When I want to do that I usually clutch a pillow or my jacket. Nice that T provides pillows on her couch!
I do the same thing when I get to a scary part of a movie, so I figure I'm just trying to protect myself. You are probably doing the same.
