Intro
Emma McAdam Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Monica Blume Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Fear and anxiousness about this is normal, real, human. This cannot not affect your emotions. This is you being human. It is uncomfortable, not weak or unhealthy.
Realize the strengths you are already using. It's easy to doubt our own abilities to handle hard things, but we have strength that reaches far beyond what we have tested.
See and be a part of the beauty of the human reaction when you're struggling with issues you can't control, focus on things you can. Help/serve others when your own stuff is overwhelming
Take the Ride. Have the experience. This is a momentous time in our lives, experiencing something together as an entire world population.
