Only on rare occasion, early on, when things felt overwhelming I would move around the room a little. Now I don't. Maybe to look at a book, or something int he office that's new, but never because I just feel I have to move.
Are you a very physical person? A dancer, perhaps? Are you very much "in" your body, like, you know when you're ovulating, know how different foods make you feel, etc.? I ask because I think some people really express themselves through movement, and constraining movement might constrain expression.
I can sit easily and talk with my T, though I move around a lot in my seat, a sofa, it is. But come to think of it, he has a new sofa, and it is so much more comfortable that the old one that for that reason alone I am less antsy. I hold a cushion, and move it around. Sometimes though if I am really involved, I find at the end of the session that I have barely moved.
Intersting question, vwoolf.
