FOMO to FOGO - Phobias and Covid 19

Remember when all our friends were Insta, Facebook, Tik Tok-ing " their best lives"? It seemed everyone had the perfect home/vacation/ children/pets. And feeling some Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) because you were on the outside looking in, uninvited.
Then, the pandemic lockdown: the great equalizer! Everyone was living their shared COVID lives.
Now things are starting to open up again...What/who is safe? Touch or don't touch? And therein lies Fear of Going Out (FOGO).
Kevin and Niseema discuss the phenomena of phobias: how our early experiences in childhood set a pattern for our coping mechanisms throughout life. Learn how to peel back your layers to examine deeper fears, the 5 kinds of reactions to fear/anxiety and how to find your positive center in our new world.

These are challenging times and we hope this episode served to validate and ease your anxiety about what you may be experiencing.
