I have done a lot of in-person and online therapy, and in-person is definitely more connecting. All sorts of subtle cues are lost between two screens, no matter how large they are, or high quality the audio is.
Thank you for your comment. Yes being able to offer online has been helpful for those for whom time or location is an issue but being sat in a room with someone definitely has the edge
Thanks for this. I just wanted to endorse your point 5, having delivered online therapy and face to face. I think setting yourself up to take the session and yourself seriously can be more important than we think. It can look pedantic or worse, when a therapist asks us to get out of bed. But how we physically do online therapy can be impactful.
I really appreciate this feedback. I hummed and hawed about whether to include it as I worried it might make the tone sound "schoolteacher-ish" but am glad I did now. Thanks!
