ABSTRACT

Person-centered and experiential therapies rely heavily on presence, empathic following, and experiencing. With the onset of the coronovirus pandemic in 2020 and the accompanying rapid shift to teletherapy, there are concerns about whether these essential components of person-centered and experiential therapies remain intact when not meeting in-person. This paper explores adaptations for delivering emotion-focused therapy virtually: setting the stage, intentionally creating space for transitions, adjusting enactments, and bringing special focus to therapeutic presence. These adaptations, based on personal experience, have been helpful in cultivating connection, presence, and experiencing when delivering therapy virtually.

摘要

以人为本的体验式疗法在很大程度上依赖于在场、移情跟随和体验。随着 2020 年冠状病毒大流行的开始以及随之而来的向远程治疗的快速转变，人们担心这些以人为本和体验式治疗的基本组成部分在不亲自见面时是否仍然完好无损。本文探讨了以虚拟方式提供以情绪为中心的治疗的适应性：设置舞台，有意为过渡创造空间，调整表演，并特别关注治疗存在。这些基于个人经验的调整有助于在虚拟提供治疗时培养联系、存在和体验。
