I was joined by special guest Rakima D. Parson (M.S., LPC, RPT, NCC, Licensed Professional Counselor) for (Part 1 of 5) of the special COVID-19 “How Are You” virtual podcast recording series. We discussed all the feels, how to navigate them, what toxic positivity is and how it may show up during these times, and how to take care of ourselves while caring for others in our lives during these uncertain times. Rakima shared grounding techniques like “Block Breathing” and sensory exercises for stress and anxiety management.
