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!!!!)

It must take plenty of courage to do the in-office sessions. I wish you well with that challenge
