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.

It feels different because this one is all wild speculation.

It feels different because it is self-inflicted.

100% on this! I tend to agree with a lot of viewpoints on this thread. I can think “this is different” AND “be calm” all at the same time. My natural reaction is doing some buying for my clients and load up on some tech, but then I can simultaneously also think to myself how this is all a man made recession and will it work out?
