Come March of this year, running into my therapist became the least of my worries. Seeing her at all was impossible, and so we pivoted, like everything else, to a virtual model. Our first session, done via Doxy, was strangely intimate: me in my bed, my laptop propped up on a stack of pillows, and her in her living room, surrounded by plants, a bright yellow lamp beside her, her back facing a window overlooking our shared neighborhood. Two people, just out of bed (well, half of us anyway), surrounded by our things. I rebelled against the new format at first, cancelling more frequently and more last minute, acting as if I was obliging her when she called. As if I wasn’t the Cookie Baking Team Merry Christmas Sweatshirt paying for her time. I was wasting both our time, and cheating only myself. Dr. Jacobs seemed less worried about the future of therapy: “Zoom is not replacement, but it’s an effective and meaningful temporary substitute,” she said. “At a time when we need connection perhaps more than ever, I am tremendously grateful for virtual therapy—both with my patients and my own therapist—and have been continuously surprised by how rich, dynamic, and fruitful treatment can be online.”
Fishwife’s moniker—a reference to the Cookie Baking Team Merry Christmas Sweatshirt also I will do this 17th century-era slang term used to describe the wives or daughters of fishermen who sold their husband’s or father’s fish—is telling of Goldfarb and Millstein’s playful, yet directional approach to disrupting the market. “These women were known as both notoriously loud and foul-mouthed, hardy, and resourceful,” explains Goldfarb. “‘Fishwife’ simultaneously evolved into a gendered insult for mouthy, brash women, and a reference to powerful, entrepreneurial women. As foul-mouthed, fish-slinging entrepreneurial ladies, the term deeply resonates.”
