How to prepare for an online meeting?
Before the meeting with the psychologist, it is advisable to prepare yourself with the safest possible space where no one will disturb you (for example, a separate room).
Why do you need a separate, private, safe space?
This will allow you to feel comfortable and freely express your thoughts and feelings.
Meetings are held via video call. The presence of a camera and microphone is mandatory.
Why is the mandatory presence of a camera and microphone needed during online psychotherapy?
During communication, a lot of information is conveyed through non-verbal means, such as facial expressions, gestures, postures, etc. The camera allows the therapist to observe these non-verbal expressions of the client, which can be an important element in understanding their emotional state. The sound component transmitted by the microphone allows the therapist to hear the tone and intonation of the client's voice. This is also an important aspect in understanding the emotional state and nuances of communication. Visual and auditory contact with the patient can help establish a deeper emotional connection between the therapist and the client, which can enhance the effectiveness of therapy.
