Many of us are noticing an increase in anxiety as we navigate the many uncertainties of pandemic life. My colleague, Michael Lesher M.Ed., LPC and I recently had a conversation about our favorite ways to cope with anxiety.
I was interviewed by Wendy Tilford, Executive Director of Huntington Learning Center, and Amanda Vlastas, Founder of West University Moms to discuss managing the stress, anxiety, and compassion fatigue that the challenges of quarantine pose. In this video, we talk about how to manage the feeling of not doing enough, the pain of comparing ourselves to how others are managing, and the fatigue that comes from helping everyone around us cope.
