Additional Tips for a Smooth Session
Create Your Safe Space: Choose a quiet, private place where you feel comfortable for our sessions.
Tech Check: Make sure your device’s camera and microphone are working properly before our session, so we can focus on your journey without interruptions.
Use Headphones: Using headphones can improve audio quality, reduce background noise, and help you feel more immersed and focused during our conversation.Position Your Device: Set up your device at eye level and ensure your face is well-lit. This allows for clearer communication and helps us maintain a strong, face-to-face connection.
Have a Glass of Water Handy: Keeping water nearby can help you stay comfortable and refreshed during the session, especially if we’re diving into deep discussions.
Minimize Distractions: Turn off notifications and let others know you need some uninterrupted time, creating a peaceful space to fully focus on yourself.
