How The AGP Therapy Team Stays Sane During the COVID-19 Crisis
Always one to turn lemons into lemonade, I entered the COVID-19 quarantine with one goal in mind: To use this newfound time to become my #BestSelf. What does that mean you may wonder. Well, depending on my anxiety and/or energy level, that goal included:
I’ll follow a fitfluencer’s daily fitness plan!
I’ll Marie Kondo my life!
I’ll wear something other than sweatpants!
Needless to say, my yoga mat’s collecting dust, my sock drawer’s still in disarray, and my love of elastic waistbands has only grown stronger.
In times like this, I can’t stress enough: Therapists are people, too.
Just like you, we struggle with self-compassion. And sometimes we need a cocktail of structure mixed with accountability, garnished with a reality check. Thankfully, I’m surrounded by an amazing team of therapists who not only hold space for their clients, but for each other.
I surveyed the team and asked:
what’s one thing you’re doing to support your well-being right now?
What’s one thing you’d like people to know or consider?
Here’s what they shared:
I can proudly share that thanks to the AGP Team I’m meditating daily, adding more structure, and forgiving myself when that structure finds itself watching another episode of “New Girl” accidentally on purpose.
