It’s that point of the yr the place there are various homecomings and reunions as households collect for the vacations.
However, some may discover themselves struggling regardless of it being a supposedly completely happy event.
In an interview on ‘The Howie Severino Podcast,’ psychological well being clinician and former radio present host Gang Badoy Capati stated that this is not odd, contemplating that we’re coming off of a pandemic.
“Kailangan nating isipin ‘yung trauma lagi na time bound,” she stated. “I mean lagi niyang kasabay ang time. You have to always consider time kasi ‘yung trauma hindi ‘yun ‘yung bad event na nangyari. ‘Yung trauma ‘yung naiwan na mark, na lamat.”
She stated that there are various Christmases that happened earlier than COVID-19 occurred, however then individuals have been locked in for 2 and a half years.
“So may memory ka kung ano ‘yung itsura nu’ng Christmas pre-corona virus, right? Kasi kaka-release lang natin from lockdowns, e. So dalawang ‘yun. ‘Wahhh, I’m back.’ Parang ‘yun ‘yung una. So hindi mo pa masyadong mapi-feel ‘yung… Marami ka pang hindi napi-feel. ‘Yun na lang sasabihin ko,” she stated.
Capati suggested individuals to look at themselves over the vacations, as a result of how they deal with post-pandemic conditions can be put to the check.
“It’s like if you’re so, so hungry tapos ‘yung una mong meal, iba ‘yung paglasap mo kumpara sa other days that you’re hungry,” she stated.
“Lahat ito mapi-feel mo sa sarili mo habang nasa maingay na reunion, magkaka-one minute ka ‘Ayoko pala ito’ or ‘Gusto ko pala ‘to,'” she added. “Please observe yourself habang nasa dinner ka or nasa family reunion ka. Pakiramdaman mo ‘yung feeling ng tiyan mo, feeling ng shoulders mo na parang ‘Tensed ba ako the whole time?'”
