Getting the Most out of Skype Therapy

When clients talk with me via phone or Skype, there are often things
they can do to better their experience. I want you to get the most out
of your session, so please look over these tips.

Tips for bettering your session:

Treat this session the same as you would if you were in my office.

Put the appointment on your calendar so it is not a surprise when I call
you! (this happens a lot)

Make sure you are in a quiet place, which is free from distractions.

Don't drive and talk!

Keep yourself focused during the discussion…don't try to do housework or
surf the web.

Give yourself 30 minutes before and after the session to think about our
discussion.

If you disagree with something I say, speak your mind! The last thing I
want is for you to just quit talking with me because you are upset. Who
knows, maybe I misheard you, which caused my response to be wrong.

Remember that some body language is missed over Skype (and all of it on
the phone), so please don't be afraid to be more verbally expressive.
