More overview of the coronavirus impact, sadly. Ubiquitous and fast testing (and mask-wearing) needs to be a priority, instead of shutting down commerce and societal functioning for an arbitrary or indefinite time. Risks increase with uncertainty about who’s infected, and typical unhealthy dietary and life habits augment this (smoking is still a major thing in Europe). To promote health and immune function, avoid excess carbs and rancid “vegetable” oils. Practicing self-compassion and love also relates to cultivating a sense of secure attachment. Creating meaning in life is vital as well. Meeting the need for psychological visibility involves nurturing emotional attentiveness and flexibility.

Question #7. Did you feel that you were psychologically visible to your parents? Did you feel real to them? Did your parents seem to make a genuine, thoughtful effort to understand you? Did your parents seem authentically interested in you as a person? Could you talk to your parents about issues of importance and receive interested, meaningful understanding from them?
