Psychologist and school support supervisor at Colégio Positivo – Jardim Ambiental, Cláudia Wiestel, recommends that everyone use their emotional memories and relive memories to deal with quarantine. She believes that expressions like the one Lucas found to express his longing are an extremely healthy way to deal with isolation and other moments in life. “Recovering our emotional memories is very important for our personal development. Through them, we can give new meaning and a new understanding to what we are experiencing now,” she says.
The psychologist says that there are countless students who, belgium telemarketing list even at home, are attending classes in uniform and that such details serve as a reminder and arise according to the intention of the feeling that is being experienced. “It is common to see children in online classes who put on their uniforms, comb their hair, put gel in their hair, and sit in front of the screen in the hope of reliving the classes from the beginning of the year, with their classmates and teachers. There are teenagers who get emotional when they see their teacher on the screen again. Our tendency is to want to intensely relive everything that brings us good memories”, she advises.
She also explains that insisting on maintaining a routine with set times for each activity is very important for the emotional stability of everyone, especially children. Another important aspect, from a cognitive point of view, is to value what brings pleasure and joy to generate affective memories. “Affections are the basis for forming our memory. All events that involve an affective issue tend to be remembered,” she emphasizes.
What will the future be like?
Based on all these findings that the psychologist assesses, the role of schools will be strengthened by the pandemic. “Even with so many difficulties and uncertainties, schools are winning, because students want to return,” she says.
Fernanda reinforces this prediction: “Lucas told me that when he has children, he will tell them not to complain about going to school, because he had to miss school and it was horrible,” she recalls. “I believe that when all this is over, we will come out stronger. We will value simply waking up to go to school, go to work. When all this is over, it will be easier for people to see and value their daily lives, because from one moment to the next, without warning, everything can change or end,” Fernanda concludes.
