Hi all,

I think this is part three of my 'virtual therapy over summer' saga.

I've all but decided that I'm going to put the stuff I need to talk about with R in a box that I will open again in September, when we are in the same space.

That's my intention, but I don't know how practical it is.

I'm in a season of Too Much, and talking about the stuff online just feels plain unsafe.

With that in mind...when I dissolve in session, R will often use some variation of 'I'm right here' or 'I'm still here.'

In my experience, those two phrases make it worse when she uses them online...for obvious reasons.

I don't want to tell her what to say, but I really need her to avoid those phrases.

I'd be very grateful for any thoughts you could offer on potential alternatives.

Many thanks,

Lost
