Online sessions are still real sessions
When events start getting canceled and schedules get rearranged for reasons outside your control, it is normal to feel shaky. Anxiety is loud when the news is loud. If you are in recovery, it is especially normal for that shakiness to show up in your program first.
We want you to know that we see it, and we are here. If you are an existing client, sessions can move online as easily as we can open a video call. If you are new to counseling, online can be the way you start. You do not have to be tech savvy. A laptop or a phone with Zoom is enough. Most clients tell us after their first online session that it felt closer to an in-office visit than they expected.
A few things that help right now
Alongside counseling, small practices matter more than usual when life gets compressed. A short list:
- Stay connected with your support system. Phone, text, video, or a small handful of trusted people at the house.
- Journal. Share what you wrote with one person you trust.
- Limit the news. Twice a day is enough for most people.
- Talk to neighbors and friends about how they are doing. Offer to help somebody.
- Keep as many of your normal routines as you can, even the small ones.
- Take actual time to breathe. The body needs permission to slow down.
