If you had a sense of being disconnected from yourself or others before this crisis, social distancing may easily increase a feeling of being alone. Or living with a partner may make you feel the need of more physical or psychological space. It’s not surprising if you’re feeling a bit rudderless or without a psychological center. What you may need more than anything is a personal anchor, which is one way to look at my role as a therapist.
