Protests

It can feel like the world is in a constant state of alarm. While we can’t control global events, we can change how we relate to them. Discover practical tools using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to help cope with anxiety during uncertain times.
Limit the depth of exposure to details. People can consume news in limited ways. In other words, learn what’s happening, then stop there. Avoid the urge for disaster voyeurism. If you have heard the story, you might not need to search for the images or the videos; if you have seen them, there is no need to revisit them over and over.
