For example, introverted clients might be able to enjoy their own company but struggle not seeing their therapist in person. That circumstance doesn't apply to me, but I hear variations of this often expressed here.
Yeah I agree. I only used to meet up with friends occasionally anyway but now that choice has been taken away I'm struggling with not seeing them. It's taken this long but starting to get to me now especially as most don't want to take advantage of the easing of lockdown due to vulnerable family members, which I understand. It does affect people in different ways.
