Anxiety + Elections Conversation

Join Living Room Conversations for an Anxiety + Elections conversation. Therapist and author Steven Stosny,  coined the phrase “election stress disorder,”  He defined it as “stress and anxiety triggered by election news (that) spills into social, work and family life.” As you read the headline news about elections or their results, perhaps you find your blood pressure rise, your mood change, and your inner peace shaken. How do we set boundaries for our own mental and emotional health while recognizing the weight and importance of elections? How do we create the kind of atmosphere that will help ourselves, our communities and our country?
