Eye contact came up in the assessment too. She asked me to look at her and I recoiled and started shaking my head almost violently. She said 'its okay I was just trying to help bring you back'. Then it was okay. I could do that myself and she wasn't going to try to make me look at her so that was okay.
I am not sure why that is so very very hard for me.
I used to have my eyes closed but then I did also have problems dissociating in session. I know I need to try to keep them open to stop that.
So I do.
I do try.
But if people try to force the eye contact thing then it is too much. Then I have to close them.
