I wanted to share an article by Gabor Maté. He talks about the pandemic and how people are experiencing increased anxiety. He states the anxiety that is surfacing for individuals actually originates in childhood experiences.
“Now that there are fewer of those options for coping, people’s anxieties are rising, and that’s showing up in their behavior. It’s important to remember that anxiety was not born of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was there before, and in almost every case, it goes back to people’s earliest experiences. However we’re responding to this situation, whatever we’re experiencing these days—including panic, grief, inspiration, connection—is part of our beginnings.” Source – When the World Won’t Hold Us
