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.
It is so hard with the virtual therapy, the connection really does get weaker when you aren't in front of them. I don't know if this helps you at all (I may sound very stupid and childish) but could you send something to your T for her to hold or have with her in your session? I have used ribbons, stones and candles in this way. We can both hold them at the same time. Like having a physical connection via an object.

I know it's not ideal but this stupid virus is hanging around and making it so hard for everyone to connect.
