(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- If you've been doing a lot of thinking as you self-isolate to re-evaluate your life psychologists say you're not alone.
It's a time of unprecedented stress. And Northwestern Medicine's chief of psychology, Dr. Stewart Shankman, said people are re-thinking what's important.
"A colleague was telling me about a patient of theirs whose wedding had to get called off because of the pandemic, or at least postponed, because of the pandemic," he said. "It forced that client to actually evaluate whether their want to get married to this person at all."
Dr. Shankman says some people will go back to their lives when the pandemic passes.
"But there's definitely some people who, maybe their goals were a little less solidified going into it, and now that they're confronted with this stressful, and at times, traumatic experience it's really shining a light on what they want."
