It’s an unprecedented situation.  Nobody prepared us for it. Nobody COULD HAVE prepared us for it.  The strategies and skills that worked last year – and over the past decades – no longer apply.  Since the situation is new, and unfamiliar, nobody can know how to handle it most effectively.  

People with power and authority are dashing from one meeting to the next … making bold statements about what will and will not happen … and there’s a very strong chance the decisions they are making are deepening the crisis, as they slash staffing, cut production, and print more and more money.  For every person that says the crisis will be long, there’s another saying it’ll be short: we can’t even agree about that.  What can we do?  

One very effective strategy is to learn from others.  But who can we learn from when the current crisis is deeper than any in living memory?  Do we really have to make it up ourselves?  

Here’s a lifeline, a small one, but a small and legitimate one is much better than a guess.  

Now, I rarely promote other websites and am very selective, but this post by Ari Galper has outdone all of his previous work: he found a person who experienced the depression, and interviewed her.  Her comments are short, and very much to the point, with that unmistakeable ring of life experience.  And it’s published with unrestricted access (I love the Internet Age!!) …  

You can read it here, it’s quite short, and definitely merits reading more than once:-
