I live in a country that is managing to get the spread of the virus under control so has safely opened up a lot of services already. My therapist returned to face-to-face meeting when it was allowed, but still does online work for people that want it. I do a mixture of both as I actually preferred online sessions, but she wants me to have face-to-face sessions. So I do in office sessions sometimes to keep her happy.
My T never touches me and has always kept quite a large bubble of physical distance, which suited me fine. So I don't have that to miss. I always feel very guarded when I am physically in the presence of people, so when having sessions online I am able to allow myself be much more vulnerable. That's why I like it better. But she prefers me to do in office sessions because wants me to learn to be vulnerable in the presence of another person. (Terrifying!!!!)
