I see my T over video. I saw her over video before, when I was in a different state and my mom was dying, and it was a lifeline then, so my attitude about it now is colored by that previous experience.

It doesn't bother me that much. I would prefer to meet in person, but I don't feel like I'm missing out on that much by doing video instead. We never hugged nor even shook hands so I'm not missing out in that regard. I sort of miss the energy in the room but I'm lucky enough to have the whole house to myself during our sessions so I don't have to worry about others overhearing or interfering. I never had much body language to interpret except my facial expressions, and she's the same, so I'm not missing out on that front, either. So for me video sessions are working just fine.
