Due to the wide availability of COVID-19 vaccines, people are not just reuniting with family and friends, many people are re-engaging with the world in ways that just weren’t possible for nearly a year and a half.
However, this period of time carries its own challenges. A recent survey by the American Psychological Association showed that 49 percent of respondents said they feel uneasy about adjusting to in-person interaction as the pandemic eases. On this edition of Talk of Iowa, host Charity Nebbe and her guests talk about coping with re-entry anxiety, stress and other challenges tied to the emergence from the pandemic.
Guests:
- Tyler Slayman, M.D., Family Medicine Physician, University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics
- Suzanne Bartlett Hackenmiller, M.D., OBGYN and integrative medicine from Cedar Falls
- Barry Schreier, director of the University Counseling Service and professor of Counseling Psychology at the University of Iowa
