Will the mask thing stop being mandatory once the numbers go down a bit? How can you make your office "covid secure?" What's going to happen? I just want the answers to all these questions, but I know there are no answers yet. I'm scared of what it means long term. I'm scared you'll change your mind and stop practising (highly unlikely, hello anxiety). I'm really scared I'll lose you and I don't know how to not be scared. I feel like it gets worse with each passing week. I don't know how to see the positives...I just long to be in your presence and I'm blinded by this longing right now. Zoom video quality is awful, your face is often blurry. The internet in your office isn't great, please, please, please, at least sort it out or go back home, where your internet is much better. I keep bursting into tears at random moments, I don't know why it's suddenly starting to affect me so much. I need some good news, I'm tired of all this angst. I really miss you.
Just wanted to reach out to you and let you know I completely relate to how you feel. I was in utter despair when I heard about face coverings becoming mandatory in therapy sessions as I knew it would mean a huge delay in most Ts going back to f2f work. My T has said she is now going back to remote work only after seeing me f2f for a few weeks. Online and phone therapy is not something I am able to do due to some stuff it triggers, so looks like I’m back to no therapy for the foreseeable. Feel like we are going backwards not forwards here in the UK. Sending you positive vibes and thoughts.
