The pandemic has made us rethink a lot of things, even therapy. As therapists we aim to create a safe and intimate environment in our offices. The reality is that this close intimacy keeps a lot of people from trying therapy in the first place. For many people the thought of sitting in a small room with a stranger can be too uncomfortable and intimidating. Telehealth has opened the door to everyone. The distance that is created through the virtual platform has provided a level of comfort that wasn't available before. I consistently hear people discussing the "convenience" of online therapy, but there is so much more to that. Yes, it is nice to not have to get dressed and drive to a therapist's office, but it is through the comfort of your own home that you can feel contained enough to open up in ways that would be too uncomfortable in person. Have you tried virtual therapy? What differences have you noticed? Share your thoughts below!
