Holding Spaces: Reconsidering the session space in post-lockdown psychoanalysis

Panelist

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center Colloquium

In March 2020, our field changed suddenly and significantly. COVID-19's myriad impacts included a transformation of the psychoanalytic session space. Many of us moved to remote sessions, often from our homes, and often in the homes of our clients. Self-disclosures were impacted, along with sensory involvement, and other communications inherent to the session space.

As we each determine how and when to resume in-person session work, we invite you to discuss and consider, not only what we’ve learned from remote communication, but how those experiences continue to impact our work and our space.
