BONUS : Corona – Supporting Someone with Anxiety – Part 02

This is part 2 of our third Corona BONUS episode looking at Anxiety within the context of the current Corona pandemic, Dale Pickles, Managing Director of B Squared is joined by his guest Sarah-Jane Critchley.

Anxiety is a big topic normally, but right now with all the changes that have happened over the last few weeks to our every day lives, it is huge. If you haven’t listened to Part 1, please go and listen to part 1 before you listen to part 2. Part 2 continues where Part 1 left off and will make more sense when listened to together.

Our conversation included a number of strategies that can be used now, at home and the importance of exercise. Some of the strategies discussed include:

  • Exercise/activity – Joe Wicks, Gonoodle, Yoga for Kids, kitchen boogie
  • Structuring the 4 R’s (Routine, Rhythm, Rest and Recovery)
  • Meditation – Smiling mind, Headspace
  • Breathing
  • Know your sensory profile
  • Self- Care sensory Shoebox
  • Anxiety sucks – and blows!
  • Dress for happy (and silly)
  • Find the funny (and share it)
  • Stimdancing

At the end of the podcast we also discussed the difficulty some children will face transitioning back to school when school starts again. We discussed how schools can support transitions to new schools, when the normal transition process cannot be followed.
