Our Nervous Systems in the Time of COVID
The light at the end of the COVID tunnel is tenuously appearing yet many of us
feel as exhausted as at any time in the past year. Memory problems; short fuses;
fractured productivity; sudden drops into despair. Were at once excited and
unnerved by the prospect of life opening up again. Clinical psychologist
Christine Runyan explains the physiological effects of a year of pandemic and
social isolation whats happened at the level of stress response and nervous
system, the literal mind-body connection. And she offers simple strategies to
regain our fullest capacities for the world ahead.
