Hi Witti! It's nice to see you too.I loved the thought of a patient alone in a room setting the camera up so she'll be filmed just as an analyst would see her, then carefully lying down and starting the session, while he watches, unseen, from another continent. My analyst got a brief fit of the giggles telling me this. I'd love to know how yours reacts.
On the other topic you mentioned, .I have become much more aware of the non-verbal aspects of the relationship, but I don't think we have to know they are happening, or talk about them. Just so they do happen, from time to time! I spend a lot of time with my eyes closed, too, and the quick glances do mean a lot. They are exactly like the quick glances my newborn son used to give me. Invariably, in a moment, the arousal and excitement would be too much for him, and he would need to look away for a while.
