Rebuilding Social Skills Post-Pandemic

It’s hard to believe, but five years have passed since the Covid pandemic began, and the world has changed in profound ways. One of the most significant shifts was the widespread adoption of remote work. While remote work existed before the pandemic, it was not the norm. Another major change was how we spent time with friends and family. Our social dynamics have transformed, and with that, so has the way we interact with others. Rebuilding your social skills is key in this post-pandemic world.

Dating in the Digital Age

The idea of meeting someone organically can feel out of reach, and the prospects through dating apps often seem limited. But remember, no matter your age, you’re not alone in this journey. As humans, we are wired for connection, and the desire to ‘find our person’ is a natural yearning for many of us. Let’s explore the challenges that come with navigating the modern dating landscape and look at ways to approach dating apps differently.

Grief and Loss in the Cancer Journey

This article will look at navigating the cancer landscape for patients and their caregivers, family and friends. Grief and loss show up in many different ways, and in the same vein, there are a wide array of coping skills. Not only is it important to give yourself/loved ones grace and compassion, identifying support services and resources also alleviates the stress that comes with the cancer territory.

Pregnancy Loss

The goal for this particular blog will be to share some statistics and provide psychoeducation around this loss. Hopefully this will spark conversations around reproductive issues, navigating pregnancies, sorting out parenthood, and increase both self-compassion and compassion for others’ pregnancy journeys.
