How comfortable do you get in therapy?

I sit in a chair with my handbag in my lap for protection... The more tense the session is the more I fiddle with my bag...

You should totally do it I remember when I had a session and I was feeling particularly low and frustrated. Normally I always sat in the regular chairs, but I came in and was like, "I'm going to sit on the floor" in this very assertive tone and he was like, "Sit wherever you want. Get comfy."

Idk. Ever since his office has felt a bit more "homey" to me :P

With my ex-T I just sat on a couch never did anything out of the usual adult sitting positions. Now with my new T it is a different story! We sit in comfortable wicker armchairs with blankets on them. I usually fold myself up and sit sideways looking out the window rather then facing my T. Also as she is body T too I do exercise and lie down and stuff ... so yeah I would never dream this possible with my previous T.

We both sit on the floor, sometimes we lay down and talk while we color and I have a teddy bear and some toys that stay in her office.

None of my T's have couches. Just chairs. They sit across from me. I fiddle and fidget while I'm talking. Or listening. But it's a safe place to dump how I really feel.

I generally lay down at some point and t will sit where I want her to, so in a chair, beside me, on the floor. She also covers me with the blanket sometimes when I'm cold and it feels a very caring gesture.

T shares her offcie with two other T's and has two rooms she uses. In the small one, I just sit quite straight in the soft chair, as I hate that one. The chair is too narrow for me, and I can't feel really comfy in it.
The bigger room has really comfy soft chairs, I used to only be able to sit on the edge and lean forward, but now I can actually sit back and relax a bit, especially during group. But in group there's this one girl who for the last two sessions swinged her legs above the armrest. T didn't comment or bat an eye, but I was appalled as I considered it a lack of respect, but didn't say anything.

My T has "her chair"...then a loveseat and another chair in the room. I sit on the loveseat, crammed in the corner, closest to the window. My shoes come off, and I usually have my legs under me, or "indian style." There is one pillow. Sometimes its on the loveseat, sometimes the chair, but usually the first thing I do is grab the pillow. I keep it in my lap.

I'm not entirely comfortable...physically yes, mentally, no. I play with my hair a lot, or my necklace.

I don't understand those who sit on the floor? DOes that make you feel safer? My T has never come and sat next to me. She sits directly across from me.

Mine has never sat next to me. idk. I sat on the floor partly because i was feeling so off kilter. Sitting on the floor felt a little like taking control and bucking the thought that one has to sit in a chair or whatever.

i don't do it often. just every now and again when i'm feeling contrary. like contrary to the whole universe, not really my t. which may sound kinda weird.
