Dear therapist, how will I feel when the pandemic is over? Adrian in the Squamish Chief Magazine

A Sea to Sky therapist walks us through what to expect and what has been lost — or gained — through this COVID-19 period.

In casual conversation, many locals express being beyond excited for the pandemic to be over and for life to get back to normal.

And certainly, there is reason to believe most of us will be more than happy to hit a concert, get on a plane and see long-lost friends and family. 

But dig a little deeper and many of us are a bit anxious about what life will look like post-COVID. 

With all this in mind, The Chief sat down with Vancouver therapist Adrian Juric, founder of Vancouver Walk and Talk Therapy, to discuss how we can expect to feel after the pandemic, loneliness and why this period, though uncomfortable, may have been a beneficial reckoning with ourselves.

What follows is an edited version of that conversation.
