Late to join this thread ...
I lie down, therefore do not make eye contact. I can sit if I want, and I do from time to time to reconnect. For me, and I don't understand fully why this is so, I feel closer to my T when I don't make eye contact with her. It's so different. It took a long time for me to trust her enough to consider lieing down as an option. And a long time to relax, but now, I like it. I can pretty much "see" her smile and chuckle or give a look of concern. And it is freeing ... I'm able to discuss more intimate issues without the worry of her reaction.However ... every so often, I'll sit up to soak up her smile and other expressions ... just to make sure she's there. I'll make random eye contact, but she looks away as often, although not when speaking, when thinking.
