When treatment was forced out of the office and into the Zoom room, 8-year-old Chloe panicked. Each time the digital connection failed she thought it was her fault, aggravating her shame around her sense of inadequacy. Pre-pandemic, we had an established play repertoire. However, in the new screen-negotiated context, our familiar way of playing together was stymied despite our mutual determination. How might we effectively restore the vitality between us as our worlds were becoming radically redefined? The treatment of Chloe illustrates an intersubjective systems view of development. The therapeutic approach detailed applies to work with adults as well as children.
