Post-lockdown anxiety is here: with loads of us feeling anxious, stressed and worried about post-Covid life. We want to go out, but we also DON'T want to go out. What's going on?
We thought when we were finally allowed out from our homes, that we'd all be skipping down the street, gaily singing 'free at last!' (or was that just us?)
But in fact, dealing with a post-lockdown world is WAY more complicated than returning to our pre-Covid lives. Many of us are super stressed about the prospect of returning to an office, going on public transport, or sending our kids back to school. Have we all developed Stockholm syndrom for coronavirus?
In this ep, writer Becky Howard and psychotherapist Lucy Clyde delve deep into the roots of post-lockdown anxiety - and discover why it's all about lack of control, developing boundaries and exploring just how the hell we're supposed to be polite now with the new post-Covid etiquette disrupting everything we used to know.
Also, why Mary Poppins is what Becky wants more than ANYTHING right now...
