For over a year now, we have been staying at home, many working from home, not socializing, and our “normal” has been anything but. Now, as we start to go back to work, consider traveling, and begin to think about re-entering society, many people are realizing the world not only has changed, but so have we. However you’re feeling, and whatever you’re feeling, please remember you are not alone. With communication and personal boundaries, you can make your new normal a safe and comfortable one that works for you.
We talked with Marie Abraham-Robinson (MS, LMFT) based in Stillwater, OK, about all re-entry anxiety and the overall impact of a pandemic on our mental health.
