I am doing therapy by telephone and have done so since the middle of march. The option of video was available to me but it's not a platform I'm comfortable with. I have missed my T a lot but have found that I have found it easier to be myself (after 5 years) on the phone. I don't feel so self conscious and like the fact that I can't be seen. I sometimes wonder whether this also makes it easier for her - If not being seen can make it easier for her to tune into me or herself which is a large part of working psycho-dynamically. So while a part of me still longs to see her, I do wonder whether things would go backwards with me finding it not as easy to talk. I also find she talks a lot more, probably to help with not being face to face, which I like. I find her voice soothing most of the time.
