E-therapy

E-therapy is the term to describe any therapy course or session which takes place entirely within social virtual reality, with none of the participants physically present with one another. An e-therapy session may be led by a trained therapist, or it may be run by amateur lay people.

E-therapy takes its strength from the degree of physical separation: physical expressions cannot be read by the other participants, making it hard for the therapist to understand fully the emotional state. Of course the flip side of that is the lack of face-to-face contact makes it easier for participants to tell the truth.
