So much for voicing my fears around technical difficulties to R.

My laptop ran out of battery in the closing minutes of today's session.
I plugged it in and was able to rejoin the meeting using her link.

Today's conversation burned when she said 'In person is my preference, but here we are online, and it's working.'

Technically, yes.

Emotionally...this isn't anywhere near therapy.

On the plus side, I've emailed my boss and asked for a meeting to discuss my access needs off the back of today's conversation.

I'd like to think that's a therapy gold star moment.
