Telehealth, not an office

That drive is the reason a lot of people here never start. It is not ambivalence. It is a calculation about the working day, and it usually comes out the same way.

The other thing I hear from this part of the state is a preference for being told plainly what we are doing and why. That suits how I work. Sessions are conversational and direct, with no worksheets to take home and no expectation that you journal in between.

Ninety minutes in one sitting, rather than fifty minutes a week for a year, is the part most people find hardest to believe and easiest to like.
