A lot of Americans don’t have a private area outside of their car

I can’t tell you how many of my telehealth therapy clients meet me from their car because they don’t have a truly private space in their own home. I actually can tell you, it’s like 40-50% depending on when you ask me

I'd think the bathroom would be anotherboption.

Yiu can take the ham radio license exam over Zoom now, but you need to be in a closed room to imply you're not being coached. The evaluators said I was far from the first to do it in the loo.

If you can't ask family for a private space for an hour long therapy session, chances are you won't feel safe/private in the bathroom either. Maybe you don't want them to know you're in therapy. Much less sus it you're just out of the house for an hour.

It was less about formal privacy and more "here's a room that licks so people won't barge in accidentally"
