Hi Folks, it's been a while. An article I wrote. if you find it helpful, I'm glad. if you want to share it with someone you care about, you are welcome to. If you want to publish in a well known psychology magazine, please ask for permission.

Hi folks, You have all been so incredibly patient as we are waiting for our full reopening. Many of you have asked if I am now able to meet in person. As you can see, the direction of our public health unit is that all commercial business is required to wear masks while in buildings. Yesterday, the College of Psychotherapists of Ontario also gave direction to continue by virtual or telephonic means as much as possible in order to reduce the possibility of transmission. Many ...of our sessions will be conducted for an hour (or more) at a time and it is more likely that the face mask will become problematic in a traditional psychotherapeutic setting as much of our communication is non-verbal and facial. Unfortunately, this will continue to be the norm for quite some time. Thank you all for understanding and I look forward to being able to meet you face to face when it is safe to do so.
