Casey Blum, licensed Alcohol and Substance Therapist, is back this week to discuss the many effects of the pandemic in terms of mental health, and reminds us that -no matter what we experienced- we are not alone. She dives into the tornado [pun intended…listen to hear why] that is our world in the kinda/sorta/pseudo-post pandemic world.
Casey gives words to “the thing” we don’t want to name, shares some AHA! insights of what we were feeling over the past couple years, discusses strategies to cope, and reminds us of what our goals need to be when dealing with stress. Luckily, we come out on the other side of the discussion with some silver linings as well.
Come along with us to learn:
· how the loss of routine can create high-level anxiety
· why Casey says to reframe how we ‘make changes in life’
· what self-care looks like, what it’s NOT, and why it’s important
· why Candace “hits the deck” and practices it regularly
Here's a look at the episode:
[1:30] Name “the thing” that’s been there since the pandemic started.
[2:08] What is the name?
[2:44] The statistics on depression and anxiety are alarming.
[3:55] Solid reasons for the recent changes in anxiety and depression.
[5:10] So, how do we cope with all of this?
[5:58] One of those “easier said than done” that slaps us across the face like the tortilla
challenge. Jump to this point to hear Casey share one of the most important strategies for managing stress.
[8:12] That was a lot of heavy…is there a silver lining?
[10:20] THIS IS WHERE $H!T GETS REAL!
[11:11] Annnnd we’re back! Let’s get back into it and reassess the damage.
[13:01] Residual stress does exist and may change our baseline.
[14:31] Need another positive blip? Here it is…almost in the form of a mantra.
[16:55] Thinking of this in terms of finances, are there new opportunities in this new world?[17:18] Self-care is crucial – especially now. What does that look like?
[19:18] What are some things you do for self-care? Jackie and Candace both subscribe to simply laying on the floor.
[21:03] Self-Care is not a one-time thing. Keep it front of mind.
