Just food for thought....
So because we were discussing psychology and the need for communication, I wanted to bring up the controversial subject of online therapy. There's a popular site, http://www.7cupsoftea.com, that allows people to talk to trained professionals about their problems. Does anyone feel that this is as effective as therapy in person?
Some things to consider:
Face to face of communication

Personally I am not a big supporter of online therapy - but I would love to hear your ideas about it... How would you react to it as a patient and how would react to it as a therapist?
ReplyDeleteThanks Emileigh for sharing :)
So, I decided to try the website out and to be honest- I think I'd have to agree with you. Even though the website is anonymous I felt a bit of discomfort writing down my thoughts to a random stranger. But when I was on the opposite side of relationship-as the therapist or as the website calls "active listener" I felt it really hard to engage myself on an online conversation and I felt like it took too much effort.
ReplyDeleteMaybe in some ways it's beneficial but it's definitely not my thing.
