What a touching post - thanks so much for sharing this Twinleaf. I'm proud of you for finding the courage to return to therapy after having had such a negative experience - that must have taken tremendous courage - and I'm happy for what you now have with this wonderful therapist.
I want to relate what you describe to what I myself experience with my therapist but am not sure how to write it - I know that feeling though - his caring, utterly accepting eyes, those special moments of shared silence that surpass anything spoken.
I also see my T twice a week - face-to-face (well the chairs are angled 90o apart but you know what I mean) - I have tried the couch a couple of times but didn't feel so safe or connected. I like to be able to see him (although I don't usually dare to let him catch my eyes for more than a second or two).
I like the way your T talks about these moments - that you analyse them together.
