I strongly support what Emmanuel and Willful are saying - that it's the relationship which allows meaningful change to take place. Without a secure relationship which has that "right" feeling, the changes you are so hoping for won't happen.
Although I do see- an analyst three times a week, I sit facing him. Being able to see his face and body language is crucial for me, but might be less important for someone else. Lying down has the advantage of letting yourself speak more honestly, with less fear of negative reactions from the analyst.
While I know this is becoming rarer, I do have good insurance coverage, which helps a great deal. Is there any chance of your obtaining that?
