How Has The Pandemic Changed Us? with Paola Bailey Connectfulness Practice

    • Relationships

The pandemic isn’t over yet, but life is opening back up again.  For some of us reopening can feel like whiplash just as much as it did when everything suddenly shut down.  This comes as a surprise for so many because who of us didn’t dream about what we were most looking forward to doing when the world reopened again?  It turns out it’s not so simple.
With everything opening up so rapidly, it takes slowing down to reflect and notice what is bubbling up for us. In this episode, we explore windows of tolerance and how we can stay grounded and in our bodies as we test out the different facets of re-entry.  We also hold tight to the lessons learned over the last year and question how we can be more intentional in how we redesign our lives going forward.  There is wisdom in what we do to survive.  For all the challenges, pain, and grief of the past year or more, there is also gratitude, joy, and possibly even a fear of forgetting.  As Paola Bailey, Psy.D. says, “We have an opportunity and you have to claim it.”
This is our last episode of the season. We’ll return in late September with a fresh new season.
RESOURCES:Paola Bailey, Psy.D. is a bi-cultural, tri-lingual, clinical psychologist who works online with clients in NY and CA thru a feminist psychotherapy and trauma-informed lens. You can find her online at paolabailey.com and on Instagram @drpaolabailey.
