Can you bring it up with your online t? I'm guessing there are ways to address all that if they do therapy primarily online...
Is there a specific reason you are choosing online therapy at this time? Were you saying you were weary to try in- person therapy again because of attachment stuff? Or am I mixing that up with someone else? Would you be willing to give in-person a try again? There definitely are challenges with online therapy, mostly the lack of non-verbal cues...

I have brought this up to my online therapist. Nothing changed. I just have a hard time with getting comfort and reasurance with words.
Online therapy is best for me right now. I wanted the daily access to a therapist and the ability to write whenever I want and how much I want. For now I can't do in person. I don't have the means and I don't want to get attached again.
