Mental health Awareness Week: The Doors of Perception - Life after Lockdown

Lockdown will change everyone. How will you come out on the other side?

"The man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out. He will be wiser but less sure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of words to things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable mystery which it tries, forever vainly, to comprehend"; The Doors of Perception, Aldous Huxley.

How will you come out of the Door in the Wall of this pandemic? Looking forward with optimism for a brighter future or anxious about a new status quo? How have you mentally and practically confronted this reality?

In this country our long-standing modus operandi is to keep calm and carry on. Whether our governments, community leaders or even those closest to us may not be showing it, perhaps these responses of anxiety, fear, hopelessness and confusion are not only normal but healthy in this extreme state of uncertainty.

In this interactive Q&A workshop, psychotherapist Oscar Myint, and wellbeing and life coach Kuki Taylor, explore with you how confronting uncertainty, vulnerability, and emotion with courage are the first steps towards a brave new world. In this safe space, you will be free to participate and share your lockdown mental wellbeing experiences and concerns anonymously before the Zoom event. Simply fill out this short survey.
