Emdr T and I have done teletherapy 3 times in the past all because of the distance I travel to see her and the weather or schedule conflicts. So she and I had a bit of experience before this all happened.
This is different though and we discussed it yesterday. In the past it was that one session and usy I had something happening after so the intention was to not go very deep. Plus, she was in her regular office now she is in her homes guest room. I can hear my family walking and talking. There ate a lot of things my kids don't know about my past that I don't want them to hear. So that is always in the back of my mind. I could faintly hear her child laughing in one of our appointments. Which she mentioned she can sometimes hear si it can be distracting for a moment for her but she has her noise machine and knows they can't hear us. I also brought up that when we are in her office and the door closes ot is like the rest of the world goes away. for that period of time and I feel safe. While I totally feel safe in my home it is a different safe than in her office. While I am thankful we are still working together and because of a cancellation I saw her 2x this week it is harder. With the sessions in the past we knew it would be just just that one time and we would be back fo normal. This could be a while, we both agree it could be very likely the end of may before this ends
