04/10/20 • 47 min

In this episode of the mini-series Love in the Time of Corona, Anne and Patrick discuss how the grief cycle is currently impacting all of us. No matter who we are or what our circumstances, we have all experienced some form of loss as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic. Those feelings of anxiety, sadness, denial, and even joy and happiness are all part of the process of adjusting to something strange and often scary that is currently happening to all of us. Anne discusses some of the tools we can use to help us ride the waves of our emotions through this tumultuous time.

Anne and fellow therapist Shannon Tappana discuss how adaption and creativity can help us overcome our moments of fear, sadness, or just feeling "stuck." Especially now with our world sometimes feeling like it is falling down around us, our primitive fight or flight instincts can kick in and make us feel like we only have a very limited number of options. Anne and Shannon discuss how taking a deep breath and looking for a third (or fourth or fifth) option can both mentally and physiologically give us the lifeline that we need to survive during chaotic times.
