- I am shy about discussing sexual matters face-to-face. Is it possible for me to use TeleTherapy?
Many people find it uncomfortable to discuss sexual matters in the beginning. However, one of the purposes of sexual therapy is to overcome this difficulty. Using TeleTherapy for such purpose doesn't solve your problem. On the contrary, the problem persists. A face-to-face meeting with the therapist will be the first step in overcoming this difficulty. This is why we recommend you to start with a face-to-face meeting. TeleTherapy may be used in circumstances where the ongoing therapy shouldn't be interrupted or applications must be followed up.
