Well, I do but this has become a bone of contention between me and my T. I try to look at her briefly and smile when she greets me in the waiting room, but once we are in the office with the door closed that is the end of the eye contact for me. I prefer to close my eyes, but I think that freaks her out rather as she is afraid that I'll dissociate or switch. Can't look at the ceiling without craning my neck up.
I try to focus on my shoes or a little bit of the floor, or something to her left or right. I do try to smile and stuff, but I don't like to look at her.
