I am so proud of us as a nation so far! Everyone is off balance right now. We have never done this before. There is no model to follow, no yardstick to measure our progress. This is a series of guestimations, of choices made in the middle of swirling – often conflicting – information. And yet, we are whole. We are doing it. We are still standing. Everywhere I look, there is wonderful, heart-warming news about people helping others. And, the Blue Angels flew over today, too.
The thing is, the environment of uncertainty, constant threat of danger, anxiety, and uncertain is also an environment for development of traumatic behaviors in the future. Please know this – it is not necessary. We do not have to accept it.
Support groups are wonderful ways to test the water about seeking therapy, and can be very beneficial. Groups are forming to meet to talk things through, support each other, and develop tools to help us now and into the future. Come join us! COVID support groups are forming via telehealth, and individual sessions are also available. Just ask. Use the “Schedule Now” button to schedule your complimentary 15 minute phone consultation. Or, fill out the form on the COVID Support page to have someone reach out to you.
There is no commitment in doing this. But it may be just the step you need to take toward not only surviving this, but thriving.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Janet
