Yeah, I agree with you completely. I am just wondering whether where you have a lack of some things with internet therapy you may have a corresponding gain of other things. I agree that it would be different, but wonder whether it might actually be better for some, or well, for me. In my case. I guess that is why I am asking. But I haven't done much face to face therapy (outside CBT) and maybe there is a lot of important stuff (for other styles of therapy) that would be missed.
I mean perhaps it is important to know both reactions and responses. But then you could write about both. For me, when I am asked 'how are you feeling' in person I sometimes say 'I don't know'. Fact is it can take me 20 minutes before I am ready to answer. Not ok with face to face therapy, better for internet therapy.
I don't know.
(I guess I should say that there are different ways of doing internet therapy. I am mainly thinking of email therapy because what I like about that is the TIME DELAY).
