Self-view in virtual therapy can significantly affect emotional engagement and the quality of the therapeutic relationship. Constantly observing oneself can heighten self-consciousness and lead to negative self-judgment, which detracts from the emotional authenticity needed in therapy. Studies suggest that self-monitoring can split attention, resulting in a nonverbal overload that inhibits progress. Turning off self-view may enhance focus and connection both for clients and therapists. Understanding the balance between connection and self-awareness is crucial for effective teletherapy.
Self-view during virtual therapy can lead to increased self-consciousness, limiting emotional engagement and reducing satisfaction as clients may focus more on self-judgment than on the therapeutic process.
The act of constantly observing oneself can create a nonverbal overload, resulting in cognitive fatigue that diminishes the quality and authenticity of the therapeutic relationship.
