Hey, I have those same eye contact ideas! My therapist has given up for the most part, and only asks me to look at him for specific reasons. I go through most of therapy with my eyes closed, or at best looking out the window or at his shoes. I think I looked at his shoes more at the old office though. At the new office the distance between the chairs is tricky to work out the right angle to look at shoes, and if I'm not careful I wake up from concentrating on whatever I'm talking about to discover that my field of vision includes his crotch. And even though I'm not actually *looking* at his crotch, that's nearly as bad as eye contact.
