In the suddenness of Covid lockdown and months of quarantine that followed, all of social life worldwide transitioned to Zoom. People were suffering, and yet the idea of initiating new treatments online felt disorienting to many therapists because it was new and they too were facing personal challenges during the pandemic. Like pilots in an emergency must fly without a horizon line, maneuvering their planes based on intuition and skill, those therapists who did initiate online treatments during early Covid had to suspend their usual rituals of becoming acquainted and try to connect without familiar knowns such as consulting rooms and shared space. I found working with this teen even more complicated because she refused the camera from the first session. With few visual cues, I had to sense meanings, attuning to my own body and associations, then use those loosely held reflections, combined with her more apparent responses as we navigated our work together.
