I also miss the face to face compassion and faceoial expressions.
Sounds like an interesting experience! For me I think using the couch would be worthwhile if it made it easier to say what I was thinking, but I can definitely imagine running into the same problem with missing facial expressions. I often look away, but there tends to be a reason I need/want to when I do look at my therapist's face.
