My former T's office was really teeny tiny, so there was only one couch. I usually sat an an angle, as far away as possible, and sometimes that wasn't far enough. It was a little claustrophobic at times. Once he was leaning forward in his chair with his chin propped in his hands, and it just felt like too much of an invasion. I said, "Would you mind sitting back in your chair?" He granted my request immediately, with a big smile, and a question as to why I was uncomfortable. Can you tell I have issues with personal space?
I really think it's okay to suddenly change your mind... if you're comfortable with something one minute, to suddenly be uncomfortable with it. I think it's so normal, and don't be afraid to ask for what you want, even if it changes daily.
