The world is in chaos

Everywhere you look, you can see that the world is in chaos. The most obvious example of this is the emergence of the Corona Virus. This virus has created untold chaos from ill health, loss of employment, the destruction of relationships to fear and uncertainty about the future. Covid-19 has unsettled the world’s population and reinforced the power of nature. As much as we like to believe we are the superior beings on this planet, we are still unable to control physics and the greater power of the natural order.

Fear of uncertainty

The Corona Virus has reminded us that there is a lot of uncertainty in the world. Uncertainty is one of the major causes of anxiety and depression and we have been receiving large doses lately. The world is in chaos and many individuals don’t have the coping skills to manage the added strain. Every client that I have seen over recent months, without exception has been affected negatively by the Corona Virus.

Examples:

A natural disaster, a terminal diagnosis, a wayward son, an unexpected layoff… each of those come to mind as examples.

Some clients have lost their jobs and their sense of purpose. Others have lost their jobs and are struggling to make ends meet — going on benefits for the first time.
