Sadly I agree with my therapist that virtual probably wouldn't work for me. A lot of the time I can't face being seen by her, and can't talk, instead I write things down. And it would be completely different and I really don't know how I would manage that. I did consider giving it a go, but i didn't in the end today.

It felt a bit like guilt tripping to me, too, and that's what upset me I think. I tend to think bigger picture, and if I went in sick, she would likely get sick and then might have to cancel more sessions which would lose her more money. Or, if she decided to keep working, she could give it to other people who then might cancel, this losing more money too. Losing one client for one session seemed the best solution to me, but I don't see why I should pay when I'm just trying to be considerate and not get other people sick. I don't feel poorly enough to be off sick from work, but I know in therapy you can't really keep your distance so much, so it's easier to transmit colds. So difficult to know what to do!
