Psychotherapy and the ‘pandemic’ of telehealth

I discuss what boredom is , how it has played out during the pandemic , and what can be done to deal with it .

I discuss tips on how to help your marriage / long term relationship survive these challenging times .

I discuss what leads individuals to feel out of control , and engage in maladaptive behaviors . I address things that are in our control during the current pandemic , and those issues that are not in our control .

Discussion surrounding how OCD develops , how it can change , and the rise of it during these trying times . I also discuss how EMDR can be used online as a treatment tool.

Overnight , like all of us , I was forced to move my Psychotherapy practice from face to face sessions to Telehealth when the global pandemic hit . I hate every minute of it. In my opinion, therapists are not talking enough about the grief process associated with it . Too many as I have seen are robotically going thru it , while being told , ‘just be grateful you are still working ‘. I outline the phases I’ve gone thru since this started , my own grief , my fears , and my disdain for what I say , ‘we didn’t sign up for when we got this degree ‘.
