re: foetal position - yeah, i'm a big fan of it. i don't think it's weird/abnormal/necessarily telling of anything. it's just something we do to give ourselves comfort/possibly protect ourselves.

I've never done any of this stuff (or cried), but I tend to spontaneously move around the room. I play spontaneous musical chairs when I get agitated or have high anxiety, and I also change positions and stand up intermittently and wander around...

Yeah, I think the fetal position and other stuff is more "normal" in therapy sessions.
