How Are You? Connection in a Virtual Age: A Therapist, a Pandemic, and Stories about Coping with Life

In How Are You? therapist Therese Rosenblatt shares her privileged front-row seat into the hearts and minds of her patients, to report on what is actually going on inside real peoples' heads from the dark, early days of the pandemic through its long, drawn out progression. Dr. Rosenblatt then trains her own attuned eyes and ears onto herself, sharing some of her own experiences, challenges, and unexpected pleasures as she navigates this new world together with her patients.

Listeners get an insider view of how her patients are coping with loss, loneliness, and isolation, as well as overcrowding with relatives, spouses, and partners, and their challenges with substance use. Rosenblatt opens a window into her own private thoughts as she conducts her therapy sessions—an inner world that is normally reserved for the therapist alone. At the same time, listeners are privy to the experience and perceptiveness of an analytic therapist, living through the same crisis as her patients.

The stories journey deep into the regions of the private therapy space with vignettes from remote patient sessions, revealing what it has been like as they tackle poignant and pivotal aspects of their lives—difficult marriages, ambivalence about pregnancy, and young adults trying to launch into the world while locked down with their parents.
