Abstract
ABSTRACT Looking and listening are activities so well integrated into the practice of psychotherapy that we don’t often study what is involved and what we are making together with these sensory activities. The shift into online working and with the rise of social media, we live more of our social lives through screens. In this essay, I share some anecdotes to explore changes I experience in looking and listening between my in-person and online practice relationships. The changes in spatial and technological relations alter our expectations about what therapy can look like. I explore whether psychotherapy is trying to reproduce old, colonised ways of doing in-person therapy in an online environment. I end by asking how embracing online living might affect how we learn more about the possibilities for doing therapy in virtual worlds.
