We're not as divided as the media would like to make it. The reality is we've got to work with the individual, because we probably will have one person come in after the election that was devastated because Trump didn't win, and then someone else that came in that was devastated because, you know, and you're like, whoa.
Feeling overwhelmed by the constant barrage of news and updates during the pandemic? You're not alone. In this episode of Genuine Life Recovery, Jodie Stevens sits down with Marriage and Family Therapist Joel Walton to unpack how the media influences our mental health, especially in these uncertain times. They dive into the rise in anxiety, depression, addiction, and even domestic violence since Covid-19 began turning our lives upside down.
Joel offers practical tips for shielding your well-being from the relentless news cycle and shares creative ways to combat feelings of isolation and loneliness. He also highlights the importance of radical acceptance—acknowledging where you are emotionally and using that understanding to guide your actions. If you're feeling cut off from the world, Joel suggests finding online recovery groups or joining social media communities to stay connected.
This episode is a treasure trove of advice for anyone struggling to keep their mental health intact while navigating the challenges brought on by the pandemic. Tune in to gain insights and actionable strategies that can help you emerge stronger from this crisis.
