>I've come to believe that an actual relationship with a therapist is vital- the opportunity to look at him/her, to hear his voice, feel what her presence is actually like- is crucial to developing those additional connections that we need to be able to soothe and calm ourselves, as well as to gain a fundamental sense that there is a loving, caring person for US.
Hmm. I guess that is what I am questioning. I mean, I grant you that an actual presence can be helpful but does it have to be necessary? Couldn't there be a virtual other way?
