COVID-19, Limit Experiences, and Undergoing the Situation: Therapeutic Implications for Pandemic Times

Abstract

Living in a world affected by the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic presents unique challenges to the therapeutic endeavor. One such challenge is mutual sharing in the collective anxieties and stressors befalling communities globally. This article will seek to explore and understand these shared concerns through a Jasperian framework of limit experiences, particularly explicating the impact on therapeutic practice. Concepts such as emotional comportment and dwelling will be explored and recontextualized as possible responses to such limit situations.
