Yeah. I think there is a bit of that in there for me too. He asked me if I knew that psychotherapists used to sit behind their clients. I said that I did and IMO that was preferable. Because then you don't have to worry about or be distracted by the therapists responses / reactions to you.
But maybe that comes down to trust too...

Yeah. I think some people find eye contact helpful to refocus on the present.I am not one of them though :-(
