Domestic confinement is often an unpleasant experience for anyone who goes through it. Separation from loved ones, loss of freedom, uncertainty about the status of the disease, work overload and confusion of roles can occasionally create traumatic effects.
Some symptoms can be amplified if those in confinement do not have access to health care and basic needs and if exaggerated or false news feeds anxiety.
However, this experience is also reported as positive by others. The time for rest and reflection, the lesser submission to daily stress, the reduction of travel time to work and other functional trips and the greater proximity to loved ones can offer the opportunity to explore relationships in depth and a greater inner development of the person.
The way we live in confinement is often a reflection of how we are available for it and as an opportunity to look at ourselves without the distractions of the previous pace of life.
