what kind of queries you were asked?
Hope Morocco: In April there were many requests related anxieties: fear of Contracting, or that loved ones will become infected, panic attacks, depression. Then some began to adapt to the situation, others, on the contrary, began to increase the tension. Requests has changed: there are more complaints about the pressure within the family and the conflicts.
One woman told me about the strong pressure from neighbors, went to her doctors, and all agreed that she had coronavirus. It was in the private sector, the woman was afraid to leave the house. Adolescents worried about the future, worried about the misunderstanding on the part of parents. There were those who felt the General stress and just wanted someone to talk to. The parents asked because of the difficulties associated with distance learning. Received applications from those who were forced to resign: there’s a whole range of feelings – confusion, feeling of injustice, lack of understanding where to go. And, of course, were those who have lost loved ones.
And what did the medics?
Hope Morocco: They said it was hard to withstand anxiety, not lack of information – patients have been asking questions that have no answers, and it is exhausting. Feel the fear for their lives and the lives of loved ones.
By the end of April began the treatment associated with apathy – the effect of prolonged emotional stress. Doctors have lost the alertness and weakened the understanding that PPE can help to protect yourself. Were the requests, what choice to make in a difficult situation. “Afraid to go home, meet with friends”, “Became withdrawn”, “Feel powerless, a cog in the system” “I am not able to anything to influence,” – so wrote to us doctors. Family conflicts, difficulties in communication with family and patients.
In may went application the depletion, irritation due to non-urgent calls to the ambulance, anxiety, when the medic knew that he had contact with the infected. Physicians-mothers, forced a few weeks to live outside the house, it was not easy to bear the separation with children. Doctors asked for advice on how to behave with a patient who refuses hospitalization. Some were told that want to leave the profession after many years of work. Talking about the terrible fatigue, pressure from colleagues, complained of poor sleep.
difficult. Been able to help?
Hope Morocco: shows feedback, Yes. Moreover, to change the state of a person worked for just one consultation. I confess ourselves surprised: it is used that a complex problem requires consideration on several occasions. I think, all business in a professional approach. We employ only professionals, twice a week we organize trainings for the psychologists, one of the webinars was led by Alexander Wenger – legend of psychology, he has worked with children of Beslan during the terrorist attack on Dubrovka.
the Restrictive measures gradually removed, people return to normal life. What is the project?
Hope Morocco: Our project continues to operate the line for physicians save for the next six months, though, the rest of the situation.
I am surprised that people are talking about the end of the pandemic. She’s still not over. Restrictions are canceled, and the pandemic goes into a hidden format that on a psychological level, not very useful. On the one hand, it is important that people keep the focus on the pandemic, on the other, if it completely leaves in the shade, there is a risk of the second wave. We need to adapt to new realities to remain vigilant and not to wait for that by the government order, life will be the same – this will not happen.
what are the characteristics of adaptation?
Hope Morocco: We are in a state of stress is prolonged stress. Some of our depleted resources, so you should treat yourself gently: lower strap, not to set huge goals and deadlines. Start with the simple tasks, leave time for rest and physical activity. Likely delayed impact of the pandemic: we have shaken confidence in the safety, there was a feeling of helplessness, undermine the credibility of people – anyone can be a vector of infection, and he’s a threat. It is important to realize these moments within ourselves: take them to finish and move on. Otherwise, may occur pressure, depression.
Isolation has given us a unique chance to conduct an audit of your life. To quarantine many lived on autopilot: it is possible that something did not suit, but not enough time to stop and think. Now that chance appeared. Coup of common life, allowed to return to basic values: now more important than a new blouse and fashionable gadget and relations, safety, health. Many believe redefined the priorities in spending, become more concerned about yourself, someone realized that the relationship had run its course, someone realized that it was time to change profession or place of work. It is important not to lose those ideas on the road to a new life.
And how to do it?
Hope Morocco: The easiest way to think of and write down. Revision of the life spheres involves three steps.
First, determine where you spent the energy and time to isolation, make a list. This may be daily business, work, meeting people, Hobbies, family, leisure, as well as worries, anxiety, self-criticism, mourning the past. From where we spend our energy today, determines what we “receive” in your life tomorrow.
Second, write what aspects of life you have been satisfied and which t��will about special attention (family, work, professional development, self-development, living conditions, relationships, the environment, health, income, quality of rest, creativity).
Third: set goals and write what you need to do to start moving towards him and start to move.
