uncovered layers of unresolved concerns on so many levels (in the economy, with politics, health care, education, and social justice, to name a few). From this, the world had in fact experienced universal anxiety, stemming from either fearing the unknown implications of the pandemic or the personal effects of being locked away from human contact.

Moreover, this read with provide helpful tips on how we can work through this emotional rubble in order to reclaim our sanity back from pandemic panic.
