If there is one thing which is amply clear during these testing times is the fact that the coronavirus pandemic has changed every facet of normalcy. The unprecedented health crisis has not only massively impacted the health of people across the globe, but it has also completely altered how the society used to function. Our work routines have changed, so have our eating habits and social calendars. There is no more catching up with friends over a cup of coffee or no#ThankGodItsFriday routines to celebrate the end of another work week. To combat the anxiety and stress during these testing times, TOI reached out to Charvi Jain, who is a Counselling Psychologist and the founder of Over a Cup of Tea, a Psychological Wellbeing Centre.
