Take Time to Feel Your Feelings

The COVID-19 pandemic has made feeling a sense of loss or feeling out of control universal themes. Understanding and processing these feelings can be daunting, but according to a recent CNN article featuring an interview with clinical psychologist Ronald Breazeale, pushing them aside can lead to more trouble down the road. Breazeale says the first step in the processing routine is accepting that you’re having certain feelings and recognizing what those emotions are. From there, talk them through with yourself or someone supportive, or write about them, to figure out what you can do to express them in a healthy way. Breazeale says it’s also important to know that this process is a continuing situation and something you’ll need to go through more than once. To deal with the added stress of the pandemic, Breazele says that “people are going to have to get comfortable with a lack of control.” He adds that “flexibility is going to be critical for people to get through this pandemic.”
