Are there some practical things you could do to bring your therapist into the room with you? For example, I light my oil burner with an essential oil which has significance for us. Maybe lighting a candle? Is there a texture or material which you associate with your therapist or therapy? You could hold that during session. Is there a particular drink you would take to therapy or have before/after session? I would think about the different senses and how you can soothe those senses during a session.
Keeping the connection live and close is not easy. Would you feel comfortable talking to your therapist about what you DO remember about them or their presence?
I haven't struggled with remote sessions, I prefer them because they suit my (historic?) need to remain distant and protected. I remember her physical presence fondly though and sometimes wonder if I would like to see her again.

Oh great idea. I have always found that holding a cup of coffee or tea from my favorite coffee shop comforting. I have been saving the money and getting water at home. Tonight I will try getting one.
