While switching to virtual therapy may require a few adjustments, in the COVID-era, it’s definitely worth it.

Plus, sometimes, we want to talk about the people we live with! It’s totally reasonable to be worried about your roommates listening in on your virtual therapy sessions where you complain about them eavesdropping. After all, therapy is our safe space to talk about literally whatever we want with no judgment. I’d say most of the time, most of us don’t want anyone to know what we’re talking about in therapy. We’re talking about roommates, housemates, and family members overhearing your intimate details. That will always be confidential, whether you’re telling them in person or online. Now, we’re not talking about privacy regarding what you tell your therapist. Although many are now experiencing the benefits of online therapy for the first time, they may wonder if there’s potentially a new issue: privacy. Ever since COVID-19 lockdowns started, telehealth and teletherapy have become the new normal for many people, which has metaphorically brought therapists into our own homes.
