Anxiety During Shelter-In-Place

“Worry is the thinking component of anxiety. Worries tend to focus on the future and anticipated problems or negative events, and they usually take the form of those “What if…” questions in our minds. Worry is not so much a response to something that is actually happening as it is a response to something that might happen.” —Chad LeJeune

I connected again with my colleague and fellow therapist Laurel Roberts-Meese to talk about anxiety during this month of sheltering-in-place. We talked about what anxiety and worry are, why it’s so common, and how to work with it.
