Both of my therapists ditched masks around the time that the CDC claimed it was safe for vaccinated people (all three of us have been fully vaccinated for a while). I don't know what they will say after the latest news, although EMDR T mentioned maybe wearing masks if things got worse again but probably not going back to telehealth. I think I'm going to ask for masks again for a while, though, because I have an unvaccinated kid (toddler) at home and another on the way. The delta variant seems like something worth paying attention to, and I'd rather have more protection until it becomes clear that I don't need it. I also don't really mind wearing a mask in session. I have to remember to not mumble, but that's the main difference. If I cry, I either let the tears get soaked up by the mask or I briefly turn away and remove it to wipe my face or blow my nose. (Before I was vaccinated, I would go into the vacant hallway to do this, but it only happened like once.)
