After over 2 months of staying home due to COVID-19 many states, including NY, are starting to open up. The days are getting longer, the weather is warmer and nicer so the pull to be outside, travel, see friends is growing. And with that so is some people’s anxiety.
Whether you are just staying in or are doing a more official 14 day quarantine right now chances are you are struggling with some aspect of this new COVID-19 lifestyle. It is important that we take care of ourselves and others right now by staying in but that can be hard especially if you are alone, have children, are extroverted, love nature, etc. etc. etc.
NYC Therapist Alison Pepper writes: “Anxiety, Depression, Stress, ADHD, PTSD, to name a few, can be very debilitating and challenging issues that many people deal with at points in their lives. We need to find effective tools that can help us cope with these issues. Group therapy can be an effective tool in bringing wellness into your life and address anxiety symptoms in a different way.”
