I have found that by trusting them and asking them for what you need is the only way to get what you need and heal. As much as I wish my T was a mind reader, he most definitely is not... lol.
If you don't tell her directly that you need her in this way then she might never know and then she can't help you.

thank you for your response. Yes I believe it is because of not meeting her person. T and I have discussed since the beginning that the my major issue with teletherapy is that I can feel the connected or energy from being in the same room. I can't feel her caring and compassion. There have been appointments where I fear she is judging me even though logically I know that she is not. A couple of weeks ago I forced myself to tell her something painful and told her twice that I hated telling her over the internet. I have not told her that I feel like we are losing the theraputic connection and such. Honestly, I am at the point where just talking about it in the way I have been has not helped so needing ideas on how to make it productive.
