experienced it but are anticipating it, versus coping mechanisms for those who have been directly impacted? you could say, if you were going to be very nuanced about it, the answer is yes. and i have talked about actually popularized the term pre-traumatic stress. i don t call it a disorder because you can make the case that if you ve heard all of the things that the scientists tell us are coming our way and we re upset about it, that that s a natural reaction, that s a healthy reaction. what isn t a healthy reaction is to pretend that it s not happening. and that s the crux of the issue and it really goes to what we can do. so you don t want to freak people out, but you don t want to falsely reassure people, either. telling people and recognizing what it is that we are facing, looking at that uncertainty, the what, when, where and why, figuring that out and then pivoting to, here s what i or better even we can do about it.
