The article describes a mother-infant dyadic therapy from the early stages of pregnancy through the first year of life of the baby. The historic context is the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, which forces the therapy to be remote, and the focus is on the dyad’s search for a level of closeness that the mother can tolerate, as she battles feelings of anxiety and depletion, and that is nurturing for the baby. The therapist and mother’s alliance in creating a virtual space for all to feel cared for is described, as the therapist gives voice to the mother’s struggles and hopes, and lends her voice to the baby’s needs and wishes.
