When we had f2f sessions I always arrived early so I could use the bathroom, say hi to the 2 receptionists who I have a nice rapport with, and just sit quietly for a few minutes before session.
Now with teletherapy I have to set up my camera and audio, close the curtains in the room where I do therapy, get some water to drink during the session. 5 minutes prior I sit quietly in my chair and practice good breathing.
When f2f or tele I wear something presentable and make sure my hair looks decent.
