I have my dogs with me and her blanket she gave me. One time we played a game (battleship), and we almost always ask a question about each other at the start (what's your favorite xyz, if you won the lottery, yea or coffee, etc.). Just simple things to connect with each other. Sometimes I light incense. I gave her a bracelet of mine to hold onto. We email and do phone calls between sessions to keep up the connection.

I find it very difficult. You would think because I do get to see her 1 to 2 weeks a month in person that I would have a better connection. But honestly it's lile whiplash, constantly get readjusted to each type of session. My area is about to go on lock down again, so I wonder if she'll reduce in-person sessions.
