Yeah, I know exactly what you mean, Miss Laura! Pdocs and therapists are good at assessing body language, but if all they see is your face, then it's hard for them to judge how you're doing. And sometimes video can be choppy and lag, so it's difficult to see someone's facial expressions sometimes. Also, your tone of voice can get messed up over video/phone. I know I sound different on the phone than I do in person!

I'm sorry to hear you struggle, though. Have you tried video or are you willing to try video? Not sure if your place offers it, but if you haven't tried it already, it may be worth a try.
Thanks for this!
Miss Laura
