In Humanist therapies it seems that what is important is physical contact, hugs, feeling the materials with which we work, the physical closeness between therapist and patient.
The moment we are living in confinement, it is a challenge to be able to adapt or create new ways of establishing therapeutic relationships from a humanistic framework through calls or video calls, online platforms, WhatsApp and other modalities.
So does the effect of our therapies focused on the body diminish, the affection and closeness of hugs, feeling water or paintings for example?
I think it can be done, it is a challenge and we are doing it, all the paths are important, even this one, the one with the physical distance of two meters, or the computer platforms and means.
