I think phone and/or video therapy is possibly the wave of the future. There are so many reasons why people can’t get to face-to-face therapy, but could use the phone. Unfortunately, at the present most insurance companies don’t cover phone therapy. Mine doesn’t.

I have had videos before in my occasional pieces like this. I have thought seriously about video for this blog, but I don’t have the video equipment right now. It’s on my list of things to buy in the future.

The reason I included the Zen Habits article is because I found it so useful, as you have. I really like that site because Leo always has thoughtful and helpful articles.

Would you think that adding video might help? I think it would.

I like the idea of therapy by telephone. I’ve actually asked my therapist whether we could have a session by phone from time to time, such as when I am out of town or too physically ill to make the appointment. Although he would be willing, my insurance doesn’t pay for it, so that ended that.

I, too, am leery of erasing memories. It seems to me that doing so would leave a void in a person’s history, since we think about memories, and these thoughts become memories, too. Sort of like the old conundrum of time travel: what if you went back and made sure your great-great-great-great grandmother never conceived your great-great-great-grandmother?

Of course, the rationale is to eliminate memories of severe trauma that cause mental disorders like PTSD. Even in this case, I think there are many ethical and philosophic questions that have to be answered.
