Ventura County psychologist Elizabeth Irias told KCLU that this New Year is an unprecedented challenge. First and foremost we need to acknowledge that this year is different. Many of us were rolling into New Year s Eve on 2020 going, yes, we ve done it, and then about three days in to 2021 - recognising that oh no, we are still in this.
Arias says we are experiencing grief - whether large or small - and she says that we have to be able to recognize that feeling.
