How can a video conference not help? Being there in person doesn't really do much, it's talking it out that helps. I'm just not understanding. Have you at least tried other means?

Why not? For the foreseeable future, that's your only option.

Definitely sounds like an excuse to put it off a few months longer. I wonder what the excuse will be post-quarantine?

Once you do it the first time (and it's easy to set up) the computer will be easier.

You can see them, they can see you, it's pretty much just as good as face to face, plus it saves you the drive.

That therapists suck?

This Corona is messing with my head and bringing out a bad side of me. I need someone qualified to help me find empathy for others.

Psychward is a group effort of people helping. Therapist is just one person who is either a sponge or just says "improve or I dont care"

The evidence base for 1:1 therapy in person or via video is not much different.

But we all do 'therapy stuff' that has no evidence base, eg. sessions last 1 hour, there is no evidence that 1 hour is an optimal time-frame.

Also eg. People rush to ask for 'trauma' counselling, but the evidence is that trauma work delivered too quickly simply locks-in PTSD.

I'm making do with video appointments because it sure as hell is better than nothing. Do something.

If whole-assing it isn't an option, half-assing it is the next best thing.

It's a start, man. The world changes and you've gotta take the options available to you.

I don't know you and we haven't engaged, but I've observed, and I worry about you, Random Internet Person. I've got some issues too, and isolation is making it worse - when I'd hoped sitting with myself and "dealing with it" would help.

It's their literal job and calling in life to hear people out when they have problems. Lean on your therapist. Might not feel like it helps in the moment, but it can help later once you're digesting it all.

I don't think you're mad, fwiw I think you are used to a few things (1) body language swaying therapist relationship, (2) 'therapy shopping' by putting too much stock in the clinician and not taking responsibility for change, (3) trying to 'get well' as a signal to others that you are 'trying' but 'nothing works'.
