Acknowledging Covid

We all have responded differently to Covid.

The past two years have been brutal.

Some of us have experienced a lot of loss, physical illness, financial strain, and issues we have never thought we would have to maneuver.

I have clients who are vaccinated, are not vaccinated, some wear masks, some never wear masks, some live their lives, and others are still counting the number of people in their homes.

I have clients who have had Covid twice, others never at all to their knowledge, clients who have long-term effects, some who have known multiple people who have died, and some who know none.

Others are in the medical profession, and the stories are difficult to hear.

Some people have severed relationships, made choices that angered friends and family, or simply shut down.

There is no same experience for anyone.

We are all unique and came into the pandemic with different abilities to handle stress.

There is no right way to manage this that works for everyone's life.

Whether you are getting on with your life and establishing regular routines or you are still struggling, the key to managing better lies in the pathways of your nervous systems.

Either way, we have all been in a strange place, and most people come in and sit down and try to sift through the past two years.

Personally, the challenges of being a parent have been my biggest hurdle.

Having a pre-teen home for a year and a half was painful on many levels..

Not only did my son greatly miss peer interaction, but we also are not set up in the divorced households to home school very well.

My ex-husband worked in a school that had him go to work.

My boyfriend and I both work in the essential job business.

The grandparents we relied on heavily had compromised immune conditions, so we had to scramble.

All the changes, new rules, sacrifices, and grey pall over our lives needs to be acknowledged with compassion and not just survived.

If Covid has you experiencing dark depression, anxiety, and anger, this needs to be addressed now.

It is time to find a sense of healing and calm in the chaos.

It is time to start listening to our bodies and understanding how our previous patterns have set us up to rebound or sink with this waning yet horrific pandemic.

Everyone except infants came rewired into this pandemic to sink or swim, and it is time to tap into our own hope, compassion, and resiliency.

We all have it, but it may be buried or shoved into a small hole somewhere.

Ignoring what has happened to you and those you love is a coping skill but not the best one you can choose.
