ABSTRACT

This paper asks how to best foster high-quality relationships in online encounter. As video-platforms have been set up to serve business purposes, not personal growth, their architectures work brilliantly for establishing content, but less so for process. As virtual rooms have become a reality, they need to be appropriated by all those aiming to support collaborative, relational and co-creative space, including the person-centered approach. The article discusses psychological online phenomena, such as disembodiment, perception of the self and others, transitioning between private/public, virtual/physical and self/other, power dynamics and how these phenomena affect our abilities to genuinely relate to ourselves and to each other. It is derived from the author’s personal experience as facilitator of online groups, meetings and counseling and the voiced experiences of participants, clients and colleagues. It offers practical and theoretical considerations for facilitation. The text is a plea for us to expand our agency within the digital sphere, whilst remaining aware of the larger socio-political challenges of the digital age, adamantly advocating for the irreplaceability of meeting in body. Striving for connection is not just the responsibility of the individual, but of us all, with the aim of shaping an inclusive, transformative culture.

摘要

本文询问如何最好地培养在线交流中的高质量关系。由于视频平台的建立是为了服务于商业目的，而不是个人成长，因此它们的架构在建立内容方面表现出色，但在流程方面却不尽如人意。随着虚拟房间已成为现实，所有旨在支持协作、关系和共同创造空间的人都需要使用它们，包括以人为中心的方法。这篇文章讨论了心理在线现象，例如脱离实体、对自我和他人的感知、在私人/公共、虚拟/物理和自我/他者之间的转换、权力动态以及这些现象如何影响我们与自己和彼此真正建立联系的能力. 它来源于作者作为在线群组推动者的个人经历，会议和咨询以及参与者、客户和同事的声音体验。它为促进提供了实践和理论考虑。文本请求我们在数字领域扩展我们的代理权，同时保持意识到数字时代更大的社会政治挑战，坚决主张身体会面的不可替代性。努力建立联系不仅是个人的责任，也是我们所有人的责任，目的是塑造包容性、变革性的文化。坚决主张身体相遇的不可替代性。努力建立联系不仅是个人的责任，也是我们所有人的责任，目的是塑造包容性、变革性的文化。坚决主张身体相遇的不可替代性。努力建立联系不仅是个人的责任，也是我们所有人的责任，目的是塑造包容性、变革性的文化。
