>I sat with one ankle on the opposite knee (did I describe that so that people know what I mean?). I think it’s actually a very masculine and dominant position to sit in, and my therapist never mirrored it, although it wouldn’t have bothered me. It was simply comfortable for me. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen another woman sit like that.
I ALWAYS sit that way in therapy. It is comfortable and sort of lets me define my space. I always hold a water bottle to fiddle with, and that position lets me be more discrete with my fiddling (so he doesn't necessarily get to see exactly how much I am fiddling).
I never thought of it being a dominant position, but I suppose it is, and I suppose that suits me!
