The Social Workers Radio Talk Show - Embracing "The Not Knowing" in the Time of COVID-19 with William L. Mannle, LMFT
play

06/08/20 • 28 min

"Throughout history, sages, mystics, and philosophers called the place between certainty and 'what's around the corner,' 'the unknown.' Anticipating the unknown, 'the not knowing,' evokes anxiety when we lose sight of the harbor of our perceived safety. During this pandemic, social distancing, and isolation, 'what you thought you knew is dissolving,' according to Charles Eisenstein.

The desire and struggle to get back to 'normal' feeds the fear of uncertainty, compelling us to cling to what was, avoid what is, while trying to remain present."

William Mannel, LMFT shares his expertise in this area.

Bio:

Bill Mannle, LMFT is a Gestalt and Marriage & Family Therapist in private practice in Connecticut, USA. He is a former Adjunct Faculty in the Marriage & Family Program at Southern Connecticut State University where he served as a Clinical Supervisor and taught a course in Family of Origin.
