As we transition back to our lives as they were before COVID-19, it is important that we care for our wellness. Wellness is engaging in small acts and routines throughout the day that don’t just help us survive, but thrive. In this episode, we explore what we can do to care for ourselves as we potentially return to in-person work, begin seeing friends and family more frequently, and engage in activities we used to participate in. We explore the Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skill, PLEASE. We talk about the play research done by Stuart Brown. And, we present a wellness assessment that you can find on our blog (www.ErinIwanusalcsw.com).
