I seek to distract not at all from the horrifying experience of Patrick Lyoya, but I have had recourse to therapy on a few occasions. Twice, that I can think of, the therapist instructed me quite firmly where to sit in the room though there was a selection of chairs, and the place i was told to occupy was set low with the result that she (as it was in both cases) was perched well above me looking down. I had to think this was deliberate. It goes to what you say in your first two paragraphs here.
