Video Therapy, Online Counseling, Telehealth: All the benefits of office therapy without the commute
We are living in uncertain times where we are feeling the impact of social distancing, businesses being closed, and people dying from COVID related illnesses and racism. Your stress makes sense right now, and you deserve the support counseling can offer...even if you need to attend sessions online to get that support.
Your mind may be worrying about your own health and the health of loved ones. You may not know if your worry thoughts are justified and healthy or if you have moved into obsessing which triggers your stress response and makes it more difficult to live a content life. Worrying tends to be a way of maintaining control but tends to rob us of our ability to experience contentment in the present moment because we are living in the future.
We are social beings who have had to restrict our social circle in order to keep everyone safe. Introverts and extroverts may experience different stressors during this time.
Perhaps, you are part of a vulnerable population that should limit their exposure to others until we have a vaccine for COVID. Doing online therapy allows you to keep yourself safe while also supporting your emotional health. Or, you have been experiencing the stress of parenting. The challenges that come from having your kids at home doing e-learning and less opportunities for camps, school, play dates, and daycares.
As a college student, you might be experiencing the stress of being away from college. You had plans for your career or academics that have taken an unexpected turn that fills you with emotions that you need to process.
Whether you are married, dating or living together long-term, you are noticing changes to your romantic relationship. It feels like you are on top of each other all the time. Both of you working from home, being furloughed, not having enough of your own space or self care time. Now, finding yourself fighting more, being more critical, and not appreciating each other.
Every day, we see images and videos from the news and our social media feed that can be traumatizing and fill us with fear, despair and/or rage. You may notice an increase in behaviors to help you numb out and distract such as emotional eating and addictions. It may be hard to motivate yourself to get things done and one the flip side it may be hard for you to allow yourself to rest more.
