Reply to comment by UsuallyWrite2 in [25m] [24f] my girlfriend might be able to hear my therapy sessions by [deleted]

I don’t have a car atm so it’s gonna have to be in the bedroom. I was thinking about putting something in the room that makes noise but I’m worried that it’ll be distracting when I’m trying to hear the therapist

So the white noise machine goes outside your door and it's not loud enough to where the therapist would hear it but it will make it impossible for your gf to hear acting you and your therapist are discussing

that might work then I’ll have to look into it. It’ll be too late to get one by my first session but might be an option for future sessions

Just play white noise on your phone (assuming you will zoom on a computer) and set it by the door. You don’t need a special machine. I play a thunderstorm podcast or a recording of rain on my tent on nights that I can’t get to sleep. There are tons of podcasts, or you can download an app like Calm. They have free white noise as well as paid options.

Use a headset/earbuds then you won’t have any trouble hearing. Test your setup a few minutes prior to the session. Then no one can hear what the therapist says.

A white noise machine would go just outside your door to muffle anything you say to therapist.

Oh yeah I’m definitely gonna be having earphones in, I’m more concerned with her hearing everything I’ll be saying

It shouldn’t distract the therapist. They usually have a white noise machine outside their door and would be used to it. Also, a lot of headsets and meeting apps filter out background noise. My friend and I use Google Meet for weekly chats and I can’t even hear her dog bark when they’re in the same room.

If you have an old radio, tv, computer, or some other device you can play white noise on, just put that by your door. You don’t need a special machine. I’d actually keep it inside your room so your gf can’t move it or “accidentally” turn it off.
