In addition to what people have said above:

- access to a special separate space that I only use for therapy (seems more powerful to me than a room in my own house that I use for any number of other things, plus I feel cared for sort of like how I do when a friend hosts me at their place)
- no possibility of technical glitches
- feeling my therapist's presence very strongly even when I can't/won't look at her
- having to drive to and from my appointment gives me space and time to prepare before and to decompress after
