    Yes... I wonder whether typing speed is a big
    factor, along with the ability to easily "go with the
    flow" via text-only. I'd imagine other aspects to be equally
    challenging, such as "reading" tone of voice, silences,
    moans, rustling on the couch, etc.! :-)

    But as John suggests, I suppose one has new opportunities, too, like "Freudian typos". Or resistance manifesting by using an uncomfortable type font. Now, if a client is "late" for analysis, what if it is the fault of the Internet backbone and not really "resistance"? (I'd hate to be that client if this were to be interpreted!)

    What challenges present themselves! (But congratulations for trying, and your cleverness in utilizing such concepts as "free association"). But what if one wants to be silent?
