OTTAWA Marion Balla has been a therapist and educator in Ottawa for more than 45 years. She has never been busier. Her days are filled with appointments with clients who acknowledge they need help coping with the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdowns. Balla is the founder of Ottawa’s Adlerian Centre and explains, “We come into the world as ‘social beings’ desiring to belong, to be connected, to feel capable and valued and to have the courage to lead our lives.” “COVID-19 has challenged and, at times, blocked these needs and desires – creating periods of isolation, limits on being social and connected, triggering grief reactions and undermining our ability to feel capable and contributing.”
