Hmmm... I think that probably *is* true, it probably does access a different part of my brain.
You know, it's funny. I'm jut remembering a time fairly early in therapy, when only rational me showed up, when he suggested I shut my eyes. It was terrifying! I got all dizzy and everything. I couldn't concentrate on a thing. Now when mainly emotional me (or a deeper level of consciousness, whatever you want to call it) goes mostly, my eyes are closed nearly all the time. My therapist mentions it as a point of difference, but I had forgotten that it was actually a problem at one time to close my eyes.
We all ought to try switching around. Except it wouldn't work. When I try at his urging to make eye contact, I end up doing this whole weird eye rolling thing. I know I must look very very odd when I try to make eye contact. :(
