Is phone or Internet therapy okay for Emotional Deprivation Disorder?
It is important for someone with Emotional Deprivation Disorder to be able to have a face-to-face relationship with a therapist or an affirming person. It is important for an unaffirmed person to be able to see his or her goodness reflected in the eyes, facial expression and body language of that person. Unfortunately, that’s not possible through phone or Internet therapy. It’s best to try to find a face-to-face relationship whenever possible.
