The Coronavirus Crisis Make Family Stress Worse

If you are struggling more than usual with worry for your family right now, you are not alone. Even if you or a loved one have not been personally affected by the virus, you may feel like you are sitting in wait for the other shoe to drop.

So many of us are worried about getting infected. You may fear that germs can be transmitted via surfaces, clothing, food or the air. There seems to be no definitive answers to your questions, which makes it difficult to know exactly how to keep your family safe. This feeling of being out of control is a parenting nightmare.

And, if you and your loved ones are safe, you might be sheltering at home together 24X7, and that brings a whole lot of stress in addition to already trying to manage challenging episodes from your children.

Helping you manage this additional stress and come out of this Coronavirus crisis intact as a family, is something I can currently do via online therapy. 

Reach out if you would like to chat with me to see if working together at this time or in the future makes sense for you and your family.

I know that picking up the phone to Contact a therapist can be hard. Your problems have been building in your family for quite a while now and the thought of “airing your dirty laundry,” is nothing you want to run towards.

I understand how scary that first call can be. Surprisingly, once we start talking, you will begin to feel more at ease. I value every family’s journey. I do not judge!
