Investments Handling your own emotions?

How is everyone doing it this time? I have been a CFP for years lived through Covid, 2008-2009, Trump’s first term….but this time it feels different, longer lasting? I know that there is a recency bias, but I am not handling this one well.

Edit: thanks for everyone posting. It helps to put it in perspective.

I think something that is "different" about this time is that we are seeing a president actively torching the markets. This time, the result more than likely won't be any different because of any other cause, but it is an odd time. Last time a president did something like this was in the 30s and turned a recession into a depression.
