Virtual connection while we shelter in place
The time we’re being asked to spend hunkered down at home is unprecedented. While this may be less challenging for introverts, the intense and immediate shift in our day-to-day routines has definitely added a new dimension to our lives. We’re being asked to stay home, to wash our hands relentlessly, sterilize everything, not touch our faces and to maintain an unusual amount of space between each other.
It seems strange then, perhaps, to talk of intimacy and connection when work and social engagements are being canceled and we’re being asked to distance ourselves from each other. If we are still working, likely we’re doing that at home, feeling isolated or spending a lot more time with each other than we normally do. What does this mean for staying connected to those we love? How do we maintain the intimacy in our relationships right now? We may need to learn new language to express our feelings, our need for personal space and quiet time, or our longing for connection and intimacy.
Connection is even more important right now.
Humans are hard-wired for connection so what does this mean during this time of Corona, when you may be stressed about how the bills will get paid, you’re hoping you don’t get sick, you’re praying your kids don’t start fighting during conference calls, or when intimacy may feel like the last thing you want from someone you’ve been in an apartment with for 36 hours! … When you’re feeling… disconnected?
