Counseling...better from someone you personally know, or a stranger?

It is best to go to the varch and not trust your skeletons to the first closet. The worst thing is that during the quarantine period, I really needed to get advice, but at the moment when the psychologist pressed on me, I thought that I could turn off the connection and interrupt the conversation. It did not help. Then I returned to my therapist, and he said that personal presence is needed to solve some problems. If a person can leave the session, then this is not help, but being alone with the doctor, you can also leave the office at any time, although you do not do this because he mentally does not let you go. It is in such meetings that the help of counseling really holds. I don't know what I would do if I was consulted via Skype or other programs. Probably, I would paint my nails and half-heartedly answer questions.
