In this week’s podcast I discuss the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its lingering effects on mental health and social interactions. I talk about the anxieties surrounding close contact, mask-wearing, and sanitization, questioning whether a return to "normal" is possible or even desirable. I also talk about advice for building resilience using strategies from Psychology Today, emphasizing embracing change, positive thinking, and self-care. I highlight the pandemic's exacerbation of existing mental health issues and the importance of strong personal connections. And I leave listeners with considering their preparedness for navigating a post-pandemic world.
