People varied a lot in their responses to this pandemic. Anyone who lost their job or had other financial distress would naturally feel stress and anxiety. Others felt isolated, lonely, and depressed. These feelings may have persisted after lockdown ended. Other people were anxious about the virus and disease. Some enjoyed a reason to stay home and feel peaceful. Eventually, a lot of people tired of social distancing and masks. With vaccines, many believe there is no longer much risk. There are as many different ways to respond as there are people.
As of mid-October 2022, 1 in 3 people in Colorado has been infected with SARS-2-COV, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. Rates in the Denver area are currently low, less than 10 active cases per 100,000 people.
You're used to wearing masks if you go to a doctor's office. If you are healthy (no flu or covid symptoms), indoor therapy with masks and proof of vaccination and boosters is possible.
I want my clients to have accurate information about the virus and public health. Here are some links to scientifically-based COVID‑19 information that may be helpful:
Note: information from studies that have been peer-reviewed and published is more likely to have been vetted carefully by fellow scientists.
I am currently on extended family medical leave from my practice, and will not begin seeing clients again until late fall of 2023.
