I would guess I spend 90% of my sessions with eyes closed and the remaining 10% eyes opened looking away or down with only very quick glances at my therapist. With I do summon the courage to look at her, often her eyes are closed too ... not resting but thinking.
I did skype therapy while I was away on vacation with my current therapist. I found it very connecting and oddly enough, I was able to "look" at her more via computer screen than in person.
The intimacy of being alone with my therapist heightens my awareness of feeling so vulnerable. For that reason, I often avoid lunch dates with girlfriends ... I hate being one on one with most people (besides my children and girlfriends that know me inside and out).
