I have been having phone sessions with my Philly T since I moved in December. She's been calling every other week usually for a full 45 minute session to check on progress here of finding a new T. I have found a new T (though maybe not now... confusing!) and actually this Thursday will be my last phone session with my Philly T.

I like phone sessions. I think to a certain degree they make it easier to communicate because I don't feel like T is staring at me or whatever. I also think sometimes it's not as good because Im the patient who tends to hold things back but I will often show what I'm really feeling in my nonverbal communication. Phone sessions don't allow Ts to see our body language, facial expressions and what-not so they are good but they are limited in another sense. All-in-all, I like them. i think they have their place in the psychotherapy world but I do think traditional T sessions are also important depending on the issues and what-not. Glad you're able to continue with your T while at college... a lot of Ts won't do phone sessions.
