phone therapy?

Question

has anyone else tried phone therapy? i've done it in the past, and i liked it. but i'm wondering if going to see someone in person would be better. what do you think?

Answer 1

I really think face to face sessions are the best. Phone and internet are great, but it's really no substitute for a therapy session with a human being sitting across from you.

And since you've done phone therapy you already have an idea what therapy is like. So I'm guessing you would be less anxious about a face to face session now because you know what to expect.

Answer 2

Although no one here can tell you for sure, I would think it would be a choice of preference. You will only find out for sure by talking to your doctor and finding out which way is best for you, but if phone therapy has worked for you in the past then I would say it's fine. Maybe you could try a few sessions in person and see if you liked it as well. I would think that you would possibly be more relaxed and willing to talk about more sensitive topics if you were using a phone, but it might be more beneficial to talk to someone face to face. It's really up to you. Good luck, I hope you find a way that works for you.

Answer 3

I think actually sitting down with the therapist is vastly superior to just talking to one on the phone. You both get more out of the therapy.

Answer 4

Going to see someone would be better, but a kind I think really helps is online and support sites like Psych Central. Or a Yahoo! Group.

Answer 5

Its better if you talk to someone on the phone.

Answer 6

I think one would fell moore relaxed over the phone.
