Anxiety rates rose SIX FOLD in the first nine months of the pandemic and Anxiety continues to affect nearly 20% of the population!
What if there was something you could do to look ahead and get in front of the anxiety?
That is exactly what a group of researchers did in 2008. These researchers are called "futurists" and they run role-playing games and scenarios about behaviors and the future. In 2008, they took 10,000 people and asked them what they would do if a respiratory virus spread to the United States and closed down the entire country. They asked them hundreds of questions like how they would work, what they would need to take care of their children and where they would go even if they were told to stay-at-home. And what they found was that the people who went through these scenarios were MUCH LESS ANXIOUS when the pandemic hit in 2020 than everyone else. They used PLAY-BASED interventions to dress-rehearse the future and turn it into a superpower! And we're going to take that research and combine it with our knowledge of play therapy and supercharge it even more!
