Anxiety, depression, overwhelm and fear are normal responses to a moving Pandemic. Stress can unearth underlying traumas and wounds that may have been dormant for years. Our defense mechanisms may be outdated for the times we are facing. We are all in "Anticipatory Grief", which can trigger atypical grief/trauma responses. Using 30 years of experience in Disaster Mental Health and Trauma work h...
