Texts and emails can create vexing treatment dilemmas. This is especially so when impulsively employed by the patient and/or the therapist, constituting an enactment or even a rupture in treatment. The potential for miscommunication is rife because of the lack of opportunity to converse in person, thereby missing tone of voice, body language, and other nonverbal cues. A seemingly neutral text from the analyst can come across as critical.
Texts or emails can have a depersonalizing effect on sender or receiver, sounding dismissive or hostile when not intended. They preclude conversation in the moment, thereby automatically ruling out, at least temporarily, our most potent therapeutic tool, the relationship.
The Pandemic has dramatically changed the frame not only by necessitating virtual therapy but also by challenging traditional boundaries that have been there to preserve the holding environment. We therapists regularly find ourselves breaking our tried and true protocols for a variety of reasons, some beneficial, some questionable, which may in turn affect our patients’ and our use (or misuse) of digital communication. The workshop addresses how these problems occur and ways to deal with them.
Participants are invited to bring in their own experiences for discussion.
