Information Fatigue

Information Fatigue What is it? Do I have it? Short answer…YES Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by data from people and screens? Having more extreme thoughts related to all of the information (ie: why is everyone worrying, what’s the big deal, I wish everyone would just stop…, what if….). Maybe ...

Managing Fear….taking control of the worry The concept of sitting with your own fears can be a strange concept to most people. It’s uncomfortable and it can seemingly create more worry thoughts. Some level of fear is being felt by many people of ALL ages around the globe right now…..AND that is NORMAL. Why? This is an abnormal event. Let me say that again and louder: THIS IS AN ABNORMAL EVENT. It can, and for most, will disrupt our everyday routine, our usual thinking patterns, and how we behave to name a few. We as humans, are wired to respond to one of our basic emotions….fear. It is a part of our body’s way to get us to respond in some manner, preferably to protect ourselves (fight, flight, freeze). This state of hyper arousal can be experienced in many different ways and to varying degrees within each individual. This can include, but not be limited to: •overwhelming thoughts at once or persistently throughout the day •feeling irritable or restless •a lack of focus in work, with conversations or even during down time •disruption in sleep •general feeling of fatigue If you feel like some of this is familiar within yourself, it is important to take inventory. Take a brief moment to notice what thoughts you have. In that moment, ask yourself: “what category do my thoughts fall into: rational or emotional?” “how balanced are my thoughts right now?” When you are able to do this, you begin the process of taking back control over your worry-based thoughts. This is a process and 100% relief may not be felt immediately (I’m pinging the perfectionistic side of you right now), but you may begin to slowly notice how you are able to slightly shift your thoughts to make them more manageable. This is the goal….managing ‘all of this’. Here are a few steps you can take to manage: •Take time in your day to check in with yourself and notice what you are thinking and how are you feeling. Realistically, this can happen over a few moments. Ideally, it would happen in a quiet space, but let’s be real and this may need to happen while you’re at a stop light or walking about to your next destination, taking a shower or eating a meal. •Take the moments you can give for this to check in and ask yourself: “how balanced are my thoughts right now?” “are they more emotional?” “do I have any rational thoughts?” If you find that your thoughts are unbalanced go further •Begin to ask yourself: “what are some rational thoughts I can have to create more balance?” example emotional thought: “I’m worried I may get this!” example rational thought: “How can I plan and prepare if I do get this?” Balancing your thoughts is NOT intended to erase the emotional thoughts…balancing allows for both and balance allows for you to have the ability to take back control of the worry-based thoughts instead of them controlling you. ~Rebecca DoughertyFroelke, MSW, LCSW cogs2.com

Talking to Kids About Covid-19

I’m a therapist who treats anxiety. I’m also a mom and this is what I’m telling my own kids about COVID-19 also known as coronavirus: PERSPECTIVE TAKING: Yes, this is a new virus and sometimes something new can be seen as scary, especially in an age of technology in which ...

I’m a therapist who treats anxiety. I’m also a mom and this is what I’m telling my own kids about COVID-19 also known as coronavirus: PERSPECTIVE TAKING: Yes, this is a new virus and sometimes something new can be seen as scary, especially in an age of technology in which we do not have all of the answers. You, just like your children, have a right to feel scared at times given all of the information both fact and fiction that is being pushed through various media platforms. Remember, your children will learn how to cope and manage their fears from you. You are their role model and if this is a worry for them, they will look to you to understand and manage their fears. It is your responsibility to help them better understand the information they are receiving. They have little experience in managing stress and information. They need you now. Children of all ages will have common fear-based questions related to COVID-19. Remember your child's level of understanding is based on their age, past experience with fear and current life challenges. Make a point to sit down with your child and ask them what they know about this new virus, ask them what questions they have and what facts and/or rumors they have heard. LISTEN: Listening to what your child says can be powerful. It can create a strong relationship between you and your child. When your child feels able to express big emotion (like fear) and the thoughts behind them, a greater depth of trust has just been established. Depending on their age, their fears and or questions may seem silly, not connected and minimal to you. It is important to remember that children understand the world very differently, at different ages, because of brain development and personal experiences. To them, their thoughts and fears are very strong and very real. LISTEN to them. VALIDATE: Once they have shared their thoughts and feelings, validate them. Say things like: “Wow, that sounds scary for you” “I’m sorry to hear you have been worrying so much about this” Let them know what you appreciate they shared and express empathy to them about what they are experiencing. Do NOT say: ”Don’t worry” “I’ll do the worrying for you” Statements like these are felt by a child as if their worry is not important to you. Statements like these can keep a child feeling less in control than before and even feeling “more stuck” which can then exacerbate worrying thoughts and behaviors. TALK/CONTROL THE NARRATIVE: This is a great opportunity to talk about this virus and help them with an appropriate and accurate narrative. Questions to ask your child: “What have you heard or read about this virus?” If you, as a parent are not worried, you can says things like: “I am not worried, you can be worried and I want you to tell me when you have worry thoughts so we can talk about them, but right now I am going to work on making sure you wash your hands, stop touching your face and practice being mindful of those who might be sick around you” Let them know “There are things in our control and we, as a family are going to focus on those (aka: prevention and planning).” TEACH: This is a great opportunity to involve your kids, of any age, in age appropriate planning and prevention. Kids love to be in control and just like adults, when they have some answers, have a trusted source to confide in, and can ‘do something’, their worry will lessen. Use this opportunity to teach them about the importance of information gathering, using trusted sources of information and recognizing when they are feeling information fatigue. Get them involved in prevention and planning around the house, just like you would for fire and disaster preparation. ~Rebecca Dougherty-Froelke, MSW, LCSW
