Frida Kahlo
Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón (6 July 1907 – 13 July
1954), usually known as Frida
Kahlo, was a Mexican painter. She was known for her surreal and very personal works. She was married
to Diego Rivera,
also a well-known painter.
She
was born in Coyoacán, Mexico. She had polio that left her disabled when she was 6 years old and some people think
that she may have had spina bifida (a birth defect affecting the development of
part of the spine)
as well.
She
studied medicine and
was going to become a doctor.
Because
of a traffic accident at age 18 which badly injured her, she had periods of
severe pain for
the rest of her life. After this accident, Kahlo no longer continued her
medical studies but took up painting. She used ideas about things that had
happened to her. Her paintings are often shocking in the way they show pain and
the harsh lives of women, especially her feelings about not being able to have
children.
Fifty-five
of her 143 paintings are of herself. She was also influenced by native Mexican culture,
shown in bright colors, with a mixture of realism and symbolism.
Her paintings attracted the attention of the artist Diego Rivera, whom she
later married. She was a communist.
She died of a pulmonary embolism in Coyoacán.
Kahlo's work is sometimes called
"surrealist", and although she organized art shows several times with
European surrealists, she herself did not like that label.

COVID-19
Stress: It’s OK to Be Human
This is obviously a stressful, traumatic time for all, whether
it is economic, medical, mental health, or family issues when on lockdown. When
we experience trauma, we have feelings that must be dealt with and processed.
This is not the time to pretend that all is fine and suppress emotions. It’s
normal to feel afraid and uncertain and anxious. We’ve all had to deal
with both good and bad news in our lives, but it is more difficult to deal with
uncertainty. When in this crisis with so few answers or solutions, it leaves us
with anticipatory anxiety because all the answers are not there yet. The
recommendations and advice seem to change as we learn more each day. Here are
five coping strategies I am sharing with my clients:
1. Talk About Your Feelings: This is a time to talk
about your feelings. It is perfectly fine to say you are scared, nervous, and
worried. It’s important to vent those feelings to friends and family. Sharing
your own vulnerability will help others to do the same as we are all in this
together.
2. We Are All Different: It’s important to remember
that different people will cope in different ways. Some people, for instance,
need to watch the news every day and want to know what is happening as that
helps reduce their anxiety. Others become more anxious the more they watch the
news.
3. Stay Away From Toxic People: If you are cooped up
with a toxic person, try ignoring the projections and don’t personalize them.
Just realize that it’s their problem and not yours.
4. Do the Best You Can: follow medical advice We are
having to think about things we haven’t thought about before such as wearing
gloves to get the mail or washing down the grocery packaging before we put the
groceries away. This is stressful and time-consuming and it irritates most
everyone.
5. Dealing With Children: Young children can’t
understand what is happening so it’s our job to carefully explain without
scaring them. Tell them that they are sick with a cold they have to stay home,
wash their hands, cover their mouths when coughing, etc. They don’t need to
know how deadly this virus is. Make time to play. It’s a great time for card
and board games for the whole family. Use caution to monitor news coverage that
may frighten young children.
