I had somehow missed your earlier post that you do your therapy via Skype. How amazing that the intimacy and closeness are not only there but stronger than before with conventional therapy.
I have a couple of questions (for my curiosity)...
Do you always have your sessions in the same place/room? Do you find it hard to find a private enough place or does it feel even more private/comfortable to have the therapy from your own familiar surroundings (home)? Are there not problems with time zones - does that mean you have your sessions at strange times of the day/night? How does the absence of a 'physical presence' add to/take away from the therapy? No hand shakes I guess! Cyber hand-shakes maybe! I guess it could be less intimidating in a way - easier to say what you really feel while knowing there is no risk of it ever being acted upon.Perhaps too many questions - feel free to tell more if you'd like to.
I wonder if anyone has written a book on this?
