Therapy is hardly comparable to astronauts communicating with Earth. Therapy, for a lot of us, is an interpersonal relationship and a place we go to talk about traumas and other difficult, painful topics. I get that therapy is not that for everyone and I think it's great that some people find video sessions better for whatever reason (more convenient, more comfortable, etc). But not everyone feels the same way about it and telling someone to just reframe it isn't very helpful. Video therapy does affect the sessions and the relationship for some people. It's one thing to come to some sort of acceptance about the situation, but that doesn't mean having feelings about it is wrong. I've been doing in-person sessions for most of the pandemic, so I have no skin in the game, but I do remember how doing video sessions affected me when we were doing them and it was definitely harder to maintain that connection with my therapist.
