Thanks so much for sharing this insight. Is telemedicine really a word that is used? You see, I had a gut feeling, that I would not benefit from video counseling. It actually kind of creeped me out. As I said above...I would put up with it for work meetings...but therapy? Nah. And I don't face-time with friends and family. My son is always busy and when we talk he is multi-tasking...shopping, doing laundry, walking his dogs...he would not be happy just sitting in front of a screen staring at my face. I really want to do more research on this. I mean...I am so glad you shared your story because I really didn't want to do video counseling...but now my health care provider is making it a non-negotiable. So then...no counseling for me.
