Removing the Mask: Recovering from the trauma of covid

Episode Notes

Recorded May 23, 2021

To handshake or not to handshake, that is the question. These days, hand-shakes and hugs  require a mental calculation and quick review of the latest CDC recommendations before action.  Without a doubt, its a weird stage we are in. We can agree that collectively, we all suffer from PTSD or rather Post Pandemic Stress Disorder.  Now that half the country has been vaccinated, we are taking baby steps to adjusting to our new Post-Covid world.

"Outside I feel a lot more comfortable, but as soon as you take me into an inside situation, as soon as I cross a threshold, its like a wave of anxiety comes over me." Rhumel

"There is a comfort behind my mask.  I reserve the right to wear my mask to make  me feel comfortable until I feel like stepping out of that." Twanda 

"That's what this whole thing has been. Its been a trauma. It's been a trauma to all of us. No one gets over a trauma easily." -Rhumel
