An In-Person Living Room Conversation — Anxiety and Elections

Community Meeting

About this event

In Living Room Conversations , participants will take turns talking and listening to share and learn about the topic being discussed. Facilitated by library staff members, these conversations offer a simple, sociable, and structured way to practice communicating across differences while building understanding and relationships. About This Living Room Conversation Therapist and author Steven Stosny coined the phrase "election stress disorder."

He defined it as "stress and anxiety triggered by election news (that) spills into social, work and family life." As you read the headline news about elections or their results, perhaps you find your blood pressure rise, your mood change, and your inner peace shaken. How do we set boundaries for our own mental and emotional health while recognizing the weight and importance of elections?
