FEAR OF COVID19 + PAIN OF FINANCIAL LOSS = ??? by J Loren Norris

WHEN FEAR AND PAIN COLLIDE THE RESULT IS A RELATIONSHIP TIME BOMB WAITING TO GO OFF...

Speculations are, more people will suffer financial loss in this season of COVID19, than will suffer the loss of their health or the loss of a loved one.

When we consider the ripple effect and the long term impact of income loss, job loss and opportunity loss, the fear and pain of these losses can look like repossessions, foreclosures, divorce and even homelessness.

Most counselors and coaches can tell you anger is a dangerous thing to add to the mix of an already heart rending and frustrating season. They can also tell you ANGER IS THE RESULT OF FEAR MIXED WITH PAIN.

The fear of loss and the pain of loss can become seething anger and uncontrollable rage silently resting beneath the surface. Just watch the videos of women assaulting each other in the store over toilet tissue. Situations will arise driving people to respond in unusual ways.

As leaders in your family, your work place and your community, I encourage you to be on your guard against these moments. Watch for the anger in your own reactions. Be prepared to de-escalate and defuse situations in the home, the work place and if needed in the community at large.

If you are aware of anger rising in you, stop and ask, “What am I afraid of and what’s hurting me about this situation?”

BE A CONTRIBUTOR TO THE SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM.
