Working with Anxiety During the COVID-19 Pandemic
For many clients, the COVID-19 virus has ignited the flames of anxiety. And for those who already struggle with anxiety it’s pouring fuel on the fire. Problem is, many of our go-to strategies for reducing anxiety can’t always be practiced in quarantine or isolation. So how can we help clients manage anxious feelings brought on by the pandemic? The other day, I spoke with Christine Padesky, PhD, and Ron Siegel, PsyD, and they shared their techniques for finding relief from anxiety during these difficult times. Many clients are feeling anxious right now. What are you finding most helpful for clients experiencing COVID-19 related anxiety?
