On this week's episode Katherine sits down with clinical therapist, Cindy Finch, to discuss ways on which we can move forward if and when we are having an anxiety attack, moments of mental distress and how to hold space for those around us. Yale Medicine Quote – “You think you’re doing OK when out of the blue it hits: a vague uneasiness—a nagging awareness that something isn’t right. You’re waking up in the middle of the night or you’re snapping at your spouse. You miss people, but you don’t call them. Fear, loneliness, uncertainty, or some other aspect of the pandemic—and the changes you’ve had to make—is getting to you.” “The pandemic directly affects everyone’s lives and, for some, the threat feels even greater because there is no clear end in sight, and the trauma is compounded by financial stresses and the ongoing political divisions of the last several years, she says. “I think all of this is really having a profound mental health effect on the population”
