As psychologists, we play a crucial role in helping our patients navigate and cope with the overwhelming emotions and feelings, such as sadness, loss, despair, and anxiety which are commonly triggered by witnessing ongoing global crises.
Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety can occupy and overwhelm your mind. It can cause a person to repeatedly rehearse events and conversations, diminishing self-confidence and peace of mind. It’s difficult to stay focused and trust yourself when anxiety is in the driver’s seat. In fact, anxiety can sometimes feel like a car stuck in a rut, wheels spinning out of control, going nowhere. Otherwise precious time and energy is spent in worry and concern.

Combating Loneliness and Isolation with Talk Therapy
Loneliness and isolation are not always synonymous, although they share similar emotional burdens. Loneliness is the subjective feeling of being disconnected from others, while isolation refers to the objective state of being physically separated from social interactions. However, both can coexist and exacerbate one another.
Battling Addictions: Talk Therapy Fosters Personal Growth and Change
Compulsive behaviors and addictions can often be seen as substitutes for certain emotions or experiences in a person’s life. These behaviors may provide a temporary escape from feelings of stress, inadequacy, fear, or loss, replacing them with a sense of power, euphoria, confidence, or validation.
