internet consultations vs face to face

Hi @Bunniekins

I prefer face to face. But with this virus it's going to be difficult. I actually got a csll last week from my psych to say he will talk to me via phone call.
I'm not keen because I can't find a quiet and private space to talk. But at the moment it's the way it is.

@BlueBay yes if that was to happen to me I think I would have to go somewhere quiet and close my eyes to hopefully block out everything to talk as even visual noise would get in the way of the consulation for me.

@Bunniekins Last week when I had a phone consultation with a psychologist I drove to a car park at the beach.
it was weird but it was ok.

@TheVorticon That is interesting. I like computers but need to get some kind of feed back even if it is just a lil twitch or softness of expression in the eyes that I get from my pdoc which could be missed on a pc.... thanks for your feedback. I might have to brace myself for the eventuality of such a situation.

@BlueBay BlueBay could you get out what you wanted to say?

hi @Bunniekins @CheerBear @TheVorticon

I managed to say things but it was weird because people were walking along the track and could see me.

next time I will drive somewhere even more remote!!!

this chat was more of a catch up and how I was feeling. I think fir you @Bunniekins I would prefer a face to face chat. If this was when my secrets came out I wouldn't be able to do it on the phone. It's really hard.

@CheerBear I think you have nailed it CheerBear we need the various options to be available for clients. By having intrenet access available it frees up services for clients who need face to face,
