How To Cope - with Becky Howard + Lucy Clyde

Fear of the Post-Lockdown Future

Listen on

Episode notes

With lockdowns easing, why are many of us feeling worried and fearful about the future, rather than all skipping happily down the road(map)? In this episode, we explore the ways in which we’ve become Covid Conditioned – falling (a little bit) in love with the safety and containment of lockdown life when the world outside has become very risky indeed.

 

We also talk about the unwelcome return of FOMO, and how lockdown has actually given many of us breathing space from the oppressive social pressures of our previous lives – how we can make sure this doesn’t come back again?

 

It’s also all about the collective trauma of living through a global pandemic, and we share some helpful tips about working our way out of this (clue: it’s not all about doing it on your own – and it’s also not our fault we feel like this….)

How to Cope is hosted by writer Becky Howard and psychotherapist Lucy Clyde. You can follow us on Twitter @_beckyhoward @lucysclyde @cope_podcast
