Maybe these therapists want to demonstrate to us clients how to be comfortable with ordinary bodily functions without suppression?

I don't recall my Ts ever yawning in session visibly. It would not bother me though given that they did it in a reasonably discreet manner. Yawning is not necessarily a sign of being bored or tired/sleepy. It can be triggered by a variety of brain chemical processes that have nothing to do with being bored.

Burping, farting, coughing without covering mouth though... if they happened once, I would not care beyond probably momentarily discomfort, but if repeatedly, I don't think they would add to my high opinion on their behavior.

My t can say "sorry I slept too little", and I'm glad to hear it because it means he's a human

WebMD has this:
Why We Yawn

It says that some research suggests that we yawn to cool our brains. Maybe your t is hot headed

I've sneezed on a customer at work once

And I work with 2 year olds all day, so my grossness factor is pretty high. (I also have an intolerance for coughing/mouth noises too)

I think you have mentioned MC has burped before. How strange. I know many males think it is hysterical, but in a professional setting?

My T like burps in his mouth and then blows it out to the side or something lol. It's pretty quiet. It's not like loud belching. I would def say something if that were the case and it consistently happened

As a victim of T farting I think pooping must be far worse

Then again the possibility of someone hearing me when I poop is one of my biggest fears so...

3+ years of therapy and I have never had to encounter farts or burps and thank god for that. T1 used to stifle yawns and i appreciated that she tried but I wasn't much bothered.

It was a session of both sensitive therapy and offensive bodily emissions.

tell H he sleeps on the couch tonite! I never!!
