To understand how “Permacrisis” can affect mental health, HuffPost reached out to our therapist, Courtney Strull for some expert advice.
Permacrisis has been dubbed the word of the year, which means “an extended period of instability and insecurity." For many, this has translated to feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, loneliness, grief and a host of other tough emotions. For others, the signs aren't as obvious. "You may find yourself 'quiet quitting,' which translates to stepping away from work responsibilities and seeking ‘quality of life pursuits."

I attended The University of Texas in Austin where I majored in Psychology and minored in Sociology. During my undergraduate coursework, I did research under Dr. Rebecca Bigler, where I studied gender and racial attitudes among children. Upon competition of my undergraduate degree, I moved to Dallas to attend Southern Methodist University’s Master of Science in Counseling program and completed all the training to become a Licensed Professional Counselor.
