Quit my last therapist really early on. I thought doing sessions over a video call would help alleviate the extreme social phobia that makes traditional therapy impossible for me. It didn't. Someone was still staring at me, pressuring me to divulge things that I am not comfortable discussing, which at this point, is everything. I am unable to shake the paranoia that I am being interrogated for information that will be used to hurt me later. In past therapy sessions that wasn't even completely wrong: they seemed to relish trying to catch me making contradictory statements, dominating me mentally. I'm sure I'm reading into it wrong but that is how it felt. There's also the fact that there are things about me too strange to be shared with someone not already familiar. I can't know if they are or not, without revealing parts of myself i keep hidden.
So, I think a text based solution would be best. Not a chat room, the pressure to have a good answer to their questions RIGHT NOW would still be there. Id want something like email correspondence, where neither of us is bound to a schedule: coming into the weekly appointment was something I dreaded. I need time to consider my answers, and social distance that relieves my fear. Does something like this even exist? Is there any alternative to therapy that doesn't trigger my social phobia?
