“What are we here for, if not for each other” ~ Siddiq. As a global crisis changes life as we know it, we are in uncharted territory. Discomfort, vulnerability, fear and anger are normal responses to an abnormal situation. You may be feeling alienated, anxious, isolated, frustrated, depressed, and stressed. Individually and as a society we are grieving the loss of what was “normal” as we adjust to the oft-mentioned “new normal”, and we do not yet know what the future holds. You may be grieving the loss of face-to-face social connection, a sense of safety, financial security, or—even worse—the loss of loved ones. You are not alone.
Though media espouses that the COVID-19 pandemic could inflict emotional trauma and PTSD on an un-paralleled scale, another imaginable outcome is Post-Traumatic Growth. Navigate into the future with a renewed sense of meaning & purpose. Identify and let go of old patterns that no longer work, even as you explore self-love & acceptance. You are an epic story.
With close to three decades of human service experience and training in existential psychology, and clinical social work with a focus on trauma & resiliency, I would like to assist you on your unique path. However, I believe the fit between a therapist/client is of the utmost importance. I invite you to call today for a free, confidential phone consultation.
