That's really awkward. It's one of the things I'd be worried about if I were to go back in person with masks required. I cry a lot during therapy. It would be totally awkward if I had to leave the room anytime I needed to blow my nose or wipe my eyes. I think it would lead me to avoid any emotional topics.
Out of curiosity, are you allowed to take a drink of water (or coffee or whatever) in there? I also tend to drink water some during session, so that would be an issue, too. I told Dr. T at one point that if the options were in person with both of us wearing masks or virtual, I'd rather just stay virtual, I think. (I mean, maybe I'd try once with the mask.) But he and I both seem pretty freaked out by COVID, and numbers are rising in my state (after a long general plateau), so I don't see him even trying in person anytime before, say, April.
