When I realized the coronavirus pandemic was about to shut down my city - forcing me into quarantine and putting a quick stop to seeing my patients in my clinical practice and teaching my students at the university – I realized that I needed to start applying my past twenty years of trauma training to myself.

I have had experience applying my background in trauma to my own life before in the aftermath of a car crash, but this time would be different: my accident was an acute and finite episode, whereas I knew the coronavirus was going to be a chronic and ongoing event with no clear end.

I live far from my family and friends, and I am very worried both about my loved ones and the world at large. I despair over the thousands of lives lost.

My View of the Pandemic as a Mental Health Worker in India
In India, the recent coronavirus outbreak has hit our society in multiple ways. We are 1.37 billion people, most of us live too close together and our social fabric is such that public hygiene has never been much of a priority, so in the face of this new pandemic, both social distancing and the other measures the prevention demands like washing hands frequently, sanitizing surfaces or keeping public places less crowded are options logistically almost impossible for India other than via a complete lockdown.

Childhood Trauma, Addiction, and Eating Disorders
Have you ever thought about traumatic experiences as having their roots in the lives of your parents or grandparents?   Trauma can be defined as the loss of an essential part of ourselves - a sense of safety, of trust or security.  Trauma ultimately has the ability to define our behaviors, actions and our sense of self.  More and more research is also showing the destructive effects of trauma being passed down from generation to generation in our DNA and cultural nurturing.

As the COVID-19 pandemic exacts its medical, psychological and social toll, I find myself viewing the world ahead through a type of ‘time’ telescope: The future’s horizon appears closer, yet without clarity or resolution, the figurative edge of my earth (perhaps yours too?) both uncertain and inescapable.  Time feels more precious, as does the need for meaning and purpose, for greater human connection, attachment.

4 Organization Projects That Spark Joy in Quarantined ADHD Brains
When the emotional roller coaster of stay-at-home orders began, many of us felt equal parts terrified and excited. We feared the reality of working and learning (concurrently) from home, but we also dreamed of vanquishing all of those closets, drawers, and boxes that have lingered for years. That burst of motivation to organize was, for many of us, short-lived.
