If you can't ask family for a private space for an hour long therapy session, chances are you won't feel safe/private in the bathroom either. Maybe you don't want them to know you're in therapy. Much less sus it you're just out of the house for an hour.
To add to this, life can be noisy. If you have multiple people working from home and pets, it’s hard to get a quiet time when it’s convenient for you. You can’t ask me to be quiet, if I have meetings scheduled all day so you can’t ask film a food review video.
This one does come up too though but less often. At least once the person made toilet sounds and I had to end the session early as they were clearly taking a shit and I was uncomfortable proceeding
As if your job isn't tough enough! Good on you for setting that boundary.
Ugh, this is so true. My mom started going to therapy in 2020 (after her own mom died of Covid), and she's been keeping it a secret from my dad all this time. When I lived with them, my mom would schedule telehealth calls for when my dad was out of the house and asked me to let her know if he was coming home early.
Honestly, my dad's a smart guy and I don't doubt he'd be understanding of therapy if she talked to him about it - I never got any "anti-therapy" messages from him. But my mom's anxiety is deep-set from her childhood, and although I would handle the situation differently with my own partners, I'm at least glad she's talking to a professional.
It was less about formal privacy and more "here's a room that licks so people won't barge in accidentally"
