Relationship Recommendations During Covid-19
We all need relationship recommendations from time to time. In this current pandemic, there are such intense pressures on relationships for couples who are trying to figure out how to get along and thrive during Covid-19, or just survive in some cases. Most couples have never had to experience such a high degree of close proximity for an extended amount of time like we are needing to manage right now. Add in the economic stress and fear of physical safety, and it is no surprise that more couples are reaching out for support and guidance than any other time in history.
Please remind yourself and each other that this is temporary, you need each other and you really do love each other, even if none of the above feel true at this moment. I encourage you to trust your history, and that you have endured difficult challenges before and are still together. And most of all, PLEASE BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF AND YOUR PARTNER! This is an incredibly stressful time in each and every one of our lives. We need to feel safe while navigating this unique global situation. Trust your love, connection and your foundation as your guides and collective resources. Please be gentle with each other, and yourself. Ask for help if you need it.

... 10 COVID-19 Emotions You’re Not the Only One Having
This is an incredibly helpful and informative article on coping with COVID-19 emotions. The suggestions for identifying what we are experiencing and knowing we are not the only ones going through this challenging period in human history is supportive and inclusive. This is the first time in human history that such a global pandemic has occurred since the internet, news media and social media has been as entrenched in our lives as it is now.
We are experiencing an extremely high level of COVID-19 emotions that we're not present during other global pandemics. The reasons are two very critical situations - we did not know the specifics of what was happening throughout the world as we do now, and there is such a high degree of misinformation creating fear, confusion and distrust that did not exist previously. Anybody can post a blog on COVID-19 without any medical or pandemic knowledge or training, and find an audience of people that will believe them, make decisions based on the misinformation and spread false recommendations that others will share with others. This is harmful to our collective wellbeing on so many levels!
Please be gentle with yourself. You are NOT supposed to be OK. We are all experiencing a wide range of COVID-19 emotions that are loud and at times overwhelming. Please be gentle with yourself, and ask for help if needed.
