i've got some hesitation re this form of therapy. call me old fashioned or stodgy. i want my T to be able to read my body language, etc. i feel it can be revealing in spite of what i may be saying to him/her.
the other thing i find disturbing is having a drink during a session. surely this may alter what the client's saying. my T also did not allow me to smoke back when many people smoked. that made sense to me too cause smoking can release a sense of well being, tho healthwise that's untrue, and allow the client to divert away from the conversation with T.

THE event reminder on Melissa Weinblatt’s iPhone buzzed: 15 minutes till her shrink appointment. She mixed herself a mojito, added a sprig of mint, put on her sunglasses and headed outside to her friend’s pool. Settling into a lounge chair, she tapped the Skype app on her phone. Hundreds of miles away, her face popped up on her therapist’s computer monitor; he smiled back on her phone’s screen.
