How To Cope - with Becky Howard + Lucy Clyde

Lockdown is easing, we're venturing out, but why don't things feel OK yet? Even if we HAVE had a haircut?

It's because we're returning not to a post-Covid world, but one where the virus is still with us, and that post-apocalyptic 28 Days Later vibe is now normal. What's it doing to our mental health?

Psychotherapist Lucy Clyde and writer Becky Howard wrap up the first series of How To Cope with a look into why the new outside world feels a very tense and stressful place to be. We look back at what we've been through on lockdown these past four months, big ourselves up for what we've all achieved in this crazy state, and have some helpful advice for how to face the next few uncertain months.

Plus - we record our FIRST episode together in person!

Frustration, Fracture + Why We're Getting Super-Judgey

After 100+ days of lockdown, it's no wonder frustration is high as we've all felt desperate, a bit depressed and lonely. But now as lockdown begins to ease for some of us, what's happening as our 'we're all in this together' united society starts to fracture?

Psychotherapist Lucy Clyde and writer Becky Howard delve into the nation's mental health as we start to experience a personal choice pandemic. Whether you're still shielding, and nothing's changed or are back at work, have kids back at school, or are happily going down to the beach with the crowds, there are hundreds of new, different choices we all have to make every day.

With Covid-19 still looming over every part of our lives, it's no wonder we're emotional and confused - but what's behind all that appetite for public shaming that's everywhere? We get to the bottom of it!

Lockdown, Part 2: Crappy Days Are Here Again

We’re back! And so is lockdown! After having a brief summer holiday from the pandemic, where we didn’t think about Covid-19 for – oooh – at least 5 minutes, and we were Eating Out to Help Out, it turns out that it was just a brief intermission before the Return Of The Virus. 😱

The second wave of coronavirus is here, and it’s stressing us all out. Without the panicked, emergency coping of clapping for carers and baking sourdough, how on earth are we supposed to face the next bleak six months and look after our mental health?

We’re here to help. We’re writer Becky Howard and psychotherapist Lucy Clyde, and in this first episode of the second series of How To Cope, we’ll share what the summer of (relative) freedom taught us, the lessons we’ve learned from the first time around of lockdown, and how we’ll be distracting ourselves this time...
