To that end, I have been faithfully attending EMDR sessions to work through my various trauma issues and so far, so good! I knew I liked EMDR from the moment I heard about it from the therapist I was interning with last year and sure enough, it's been extremely helpful to me and I just started! 🙂 I really like my therapist as well which as I know from my own work is extremely important!
Moving on to my last topic of this post: coronavirus. I have been struggling with this particularly since Wednesday when WHO informed that this is now a pandemic. I have been anxious and worried since this news broke partly because I have always struggled with worry and anxiety but also because I spent inordinate amounts of time researching and reading about the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic. The many similarities between this one and that are eerie. Because of the fact that the 1918 pandemic was such a cataclysmic and disastrous event for the entire world, the parallels between the past and the present time are quite scary indeed. But I am attempting to deal with the fear and uncertainty the same way I have learned to deal with everything: acceptance, prayer, and an unwavering faith in God! Stay healthy and DON'T FORGET TO WASH YOUR HANDS!!!
