The "human connection" theme has been coming up a lot lately. Well, it always gets at least casual mention because under the surface, a lot of people are aware of an unnatural "lack" that has been culminating and giving root to some unsettling social symptoms. But I've been observing deeper discussions about it in recent days. It's good to know that collective awareness is bringing this to the work table.. (as you described) We start to speak to each other about perceptions,..how we've changed as individuals, which brings realization. And what you described (one perspective anyway): playing with common responses to physical presence, examining and managing reactions- intentionally. Play time is when the a lot of the magic happens.This is what coping and preparing for healthy adjustment looks like! Thanks for sharing the experience.
