Doctor Kernel: Hello JJ! Last time we were discussing your obsession with the game Tetris and delving into the meaning behind your dreams. We also touched on the role of Judd in your life as a supportive friend. Is there anything specific you would like to continue discussing today?

JJ: What does you wife think about you sitting in front of a computer claiming that you are in a session with a patient?

Doctor Kernel: Ah, my wife Tilda is not particularly fond of my newfound interest in computers and digital communication. She worries that it's changing me and affecting our relationship. She finds it difficult to understand the concept of conducting therapy sessions through a computer. But I assure her that it's just a tool to facilitate communication and that the principles of therapy remain the same. It's a topic of ongoing discussion between us.

JJ: How do you deal with the lack of body language, facial expressions, and voice intonation during the session?

Doctor Kernel: It is true that the absence of body language, facial expressions, and voice intonation can make it more challenging to interpret and understand the nuances of communication during a session. However, I try to focus on the content of what my patient is expressing and ask clarifying questions when needed. I also encourage my patients to be as descriptive as possible in their written communication to compensate for the absence of nonverbal cues. While it may not be the same as face-to-face interaction, I believe that meaningful connections can still be formed and valuable insights can be gained through digital communication.

JJ: Do you think one day it would be possible to have video chats over the internet?

Doctor Kernel: It is certainly a possibility. Technology is advancing rapidly, and there have been discussions about the potential for video communication over the internet. However, it is difficult to predict exactly when and how such advancements will occur. It would certainly add another layer of depth and richness to our digital interactions.
