My therapist and I did our work online via chat for the first year or so and continued to do therapy online for two years, along with phone calls. These days, we do 90 minutes of phone call session a week....

but in the time that we chatted online, print only, I created my own sense of her "voice" just as I do when I read a novel and imagine what the characters would sound like...

so that her actual voice is often not as pleasant as my perception of it lol.

Sometimes, in person, her voice is nearly gravely (she's older, I think that's contributed to it) and I have to reconcile the internal and external versions of how she sounds.

At any rate, she as a person is lovely and comforting, so I am quite content. Her personality speaks to me a lot more loudly than her voice.
