Confusion, unrest, fear, uncertainty create your own word cloud of uncomfortable feelings generated by the insurrectionist siege on our nation s Capitol and then try and process them with your family.
It s a lot, so we reached out to L.A.-based therapist, artist and healer Thea Monyeé, and Westside Infant-Family Network clinical psychologist Wendy Sun, for some guidance.
And we re listening. Tell us how you re processing your feelings by emailing the reporter at mdale@scpr.org and we ll update this post with what you share.
IF YOU HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN TURN OFF THE NEWS I can t think of an energetic, or spiritual or emotional plus to [watching the news] because we don t have a plan to give them after that, Monyeé says. If you get more stressed out with every tweet, your kids are going to notice.
