I, too, keep forgetting that my pdoc wears glasses. Aside from when he's fidgeting with them, they're just so unnoticeable (rimless, I think) that I forget they're there entirely. (Though I do sometimes glance over and remember.) I'm sure the fact that I spend the majority of the session not looking at my pdoc doesn't help much.
I don't make eye contact very often in therapy. As I said, I spend most of the time looking away from my pdoc. He seems to spend quite some time with his eyes closed - says it's easier to think that way - so both of those factors add up. I'm also a bit uncomfortable with eye contact, for the most part, though I'm equally uncomfortable if my chair isn't tilted so that I can look at him as well as away without too much trouble. I think I just don't make very much sense.
