In reply to Sorry, should've started a new thread about new T, posted by Susan47 on February 3, 2005, at 4:20:36
About your old counsellor, buyer beware. It's not your responsibilty, IMO.
About your new T, it sounds like a comfortable place, and you sound comfortable in it.
I, too, take my shoes off and make myself comfortable, always, in my T's office. I'm also almost 50. I sit cross-legged, I stretch my feet out to the end of the couch, I move around a lot, rarely put my feet on the floor. Part of this is because I am short, so sitting, my feet don't quite reach the floor.
I think I'll ask him about my body language. I have made a point of not trying to control it, and have told him so. I figured that I have spent so much time saying, not saying, avoiding the truth, saying only parts of things, etc. etc. etc., that I should let my body state its truths unimpeded by my stupid conscious mind.
Susan, I hope you connect with this new T.
