(Dis) connection in confinement

No one was prepared for this Covid-19 pandemic. Each person is responding to this situation according to their life story up to the present. Whatever the experience, it is unique and individual. From the people who have to stay home, to the many who struggle every day so that people can return home safe and sound.

Everyone, including me, went through the experience of responding in a certain way to this huge change in our lives. When in certain cases feelings of apprehension, insecurity, fear or others are experienced, the levels of anxiety, stress, surveillance, insomnia and others can be induced.

It is important to reflect on what you can do to make this period easier than it may be. We are a sociable people, the confinement and the necessary distance forces everyone to be on their island and gradually the island tends to become too small.

We are often so busy in our lives that being forced to stop in this way forces us to feel how human we are, not machines! It forces the connection and the relationship. It is essential to stay connected, listen and be heard.
