What It Means To 'Process' A Pandemic
Show Notes:
COVID-19 has hit the world hard, in ways we were largely unprepared for. But no one was hit quite the way First Responders and Front Line Workers were. Being in the thick of it, with your own fears and risks, showing up because you’ve committed to helping – there’s been no time or space or support to step back and really take stock of all that’s happened. All that’s been asked of you. During this episode I share my concern that if we don’t ensure our front liners are equipped to process what they’ve had placed on them, we risk losing a swath of really incredible helpers to burnout, and that would be such a tremendous loss for our communities and an absolute shame.
The content of this episode was a bit more dense than usual, so I have created an info sheet to summarize the concept of processing that you can access by clicking here. You may want to consider printing this off and using as a reference, particularly if you practice journaling or other practices where you engage in reflection, as you may find this helpful to guide some of those practices. I suggest in the episode that you may find it helpful to listen to this episode a couple of times through to help anchor the concepts.
Episode Challenge:
- Spend some time reflecting on how you are processing the story of the pandemic in your own life. What factors are you listening to? Are there one or more factors you need to pay more attention to? What is the story your psyche is putting together? Are there additional perspectives or context that you need to bring in to help the story fit in a way you can integrate and hold as your own?
