The power of online work

You might think that working online is limited to writing and therefor not for you, or totally boring. That is why I wanted to talk about the many other facets of online work.

Sure if you chose online therapy a lot of that is going to involve writing, either in emails or chat. But there is so much more.

Next to your e-mail you could include drawings you have made on your computer or drawing you have made on paper and you have made a photograph of. Creative therapy can be enormously helpfull during counselling if that is something that appeals to you.

The same with music, if music is important to you, you can listen to your favorite songs and themes while you do your online work. You can send links of that music to your counsellor so they know what you are talking about.

As technology moves so fast I am sure that within a few years there will be so many more options. Something I am watching closely at the moment is Second Life and avatar therapy. Imagine being able to create how you want to look and be able to create whatever you want in a virtual surrounding, it has so much potential for counselling. And it is exciting to watch the new technologies, to learn about them. So you can count on it that I will tell you about what I find out on this blog.
