Return to "Normal" Amidst COVID-19

Dr. Lisa Damour explains that unpleasant emotions during stressful situations are normal. We can cope with them by leaning into relationships, finding meaning in what we do, and engaging in healthy, happy distractions. We should also examine which changes from the pandemic we want to keep and what we want to give up that no longer serves us. For folks with children, talk about what your children are feeling and ensure they have the adaptive strategies to manage their emotions.
