The coronavirus pandemic is a world-historical event. We live in a post-Covid world. This paper addresses how Gestalt therapy's concepts of intentionality, contacting, and relationality come together as the intentionality of contacting that form the fabric of relationality. These concepts are presented from a clinical phenomenological and personal perspective of the author in New York City at the height of the pandemic. This article is an adaptation of a May 16, 2020, presentation at the online conference "Dialogues on Psychotherapy at the Time of Coronavirus," sponsored by Instituto di Gestalt HCC, Italy.
