The pandemic was tough for people around the world. As the global crisis leveled the lives of everyone around the world, people tried to distract themselves from the tedium. For Gabrielle Union, it was therapy that helped her get through those tough times. However, initially, she was having some difficulties figuring out how to seek help during the pandemic.

That is when the billion-dollar company Zoom came into the picture. Zoom helped Dwyane Wade‘s wife get through the initial mandate of social distancing.

How did Zoom help Dwyane Wade’s wife with therapy?

During her recent conversation with Marie Claire, Union talked about how she resets the chaos in her life. She said, “Go to therapy. Thank god for Zoom therapy. That has been my saving grace, especially during the pandemic.” There was one more problem in her talking to her therapist. Her therapist is an older woman who is not accustomed to the digital side of the world. She said, “My therapist is on the older side and I wasn’t sure how online therapy was going to work for her.”

To her advantage, once her therapist got the hang of how Zoom and video conferencing works, Union said it saved her life. “It has been a challenge, but once she got the hang of Zoom and FaceTime? It literally saved my life,” she added. The 51-year-old has always been an advocate for well-being, and mental health and often speaks on the importance of seeking help whenever anyone feels that they’re spiraling down into something.

As for her current mental health focus, she said, “I’m really working on meditation or self-help.” She credited Tia Mowry for being her caretaker in the same interview. She said, “Tia Mowry sends me almost daily meditations and reminds me to practice my breath work. Even if it’s short—don’t start me off with a 45 minute one. She’ll send me a five-minute meditation and it has been incredibly helpful.”
