An 11 year-old boy with autism and primitive fears builds a transference to his analyst through drawing, music and storytelling. The analyst's initial countertransference feelings clue her in to his premature birth and his desperate need for containment.

The analytic pair “keeps time” by developing rhythms, language and songs, despite the interruption of the COVID-19 lockdown.
