b'It\\u2019s been a year since the pandemic shut the world and we\\u2019ve all been anxiously waiting for the curtains to unveil what might be in our future. It was also a year ago when Brian interviewed Rev. Jonathan Vanderbeck on Facebook to talk about handling anxiety and what that means for queer folks during the pandemic. Tune in to hear what Rev. Jonathan says about anxiety 1 year into this pandemic.\\nThe Rev. Jonathan Vanderbeck, LCSW (he/they) is an ordained minister in the Reformed Church in America, the oldest Protestant denomination in the United States, where he was the first openly gay, person-of-color ordained in his denomination, and is also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York. They currently serve at the Interim Transitional Minister at Messiah Lutheran Church in Rotterdam, NY, and are also in practice at the Samaritan Counseling Center in Scotia. He has received extensive training in Bowen Family Systems Theory and is passionate about working with individuals and couples from a systemic perspective, working to help others see the anxiety around them. When they\\u2019re not working (and it\\u2019s not a global pandemic) you can find them drinking coffee at a coffee shop (extra dry cappuccino), cooking an elaborate meal, or hiking in the Adirondack mountains.\\nKey takeaways:\\n\\nBrian\\u2019s bike update [0:47]\\nHighly recommended: Judas and the Black Messiah [3:36]\\nIntroducing our special guest for today [8:18]\\nPractices that hold true 1 year since the pandemic started [11:14]\\nAcute and chronic anxiety [14:17]\\nWays to recognize that chronic anxiety is taking a toll [19:19]\\nHow folks can get help [25:48]\\nHaving queer phobic people in our lives, what to do?
