I did two phone sessions when I went to my parent's over the holidays and both times it went well. I have a lot of pauses and silences in my sessions so I was worried about it as well. I think I remember that in the first phone session there was short silence and she asked if I was still there. That was the only kind of awkward moment though. I had been working with my T for a little over a year at that point so I think she was used to me thinking about things for a minute before responding and gave me time to do so over the phone as well.

What was interesting for me was that I actually didn't have as many pauses over the phone. I found myself finding things to say or short statements to kind of fill that gap where I would normally not say anything.

I know it's hard not to worry about it but try not to overthink it too much. Your T knows you and how you communicate so she'll be able to pick up on things. My phone sessions went well and I'm sure yours will too!
