This paper explores how the experience of lockdown during Covid-19 confronts us with ourselves. Isolation, feeling trapped or afraid, the sudden absence of the presence of others, opens painful windows into past experiences of thwarted selfobject experiences. Kohut’s conceptualization of selfobject needs and transferences that pose on-going questions about the meanings we make of emotional experience throughout life are newly considered. In an unpeopled world, is it possible to discover leading edge blossomings within ourselves and our patients? Twinship and the notion of an attuned receiver are emphasized.
