Episode 1: These Uncertain Times
Guests: Dr. Jud Brewer, Brown University neuroscientist and psychiatrist - Dr. Romie Mushtaq, neurologist and mindfulness trainer - Dr. Jon Caldwell, trauma-informed psychologist and clinical research investigator
- S1 E1: These Uncertain Times -
The initial news of this coronavirus didn’t hit everyone at the same time or in the same way…but it did hit everyone. For each of us, there was a turning point where the virus first changed our thoughts and behaviors. But no matter what your first act of pandemic life was, the reason your brain prompted you to stop and do something different was because it was doing its job.
So, what exactly does fear do to the brain? And how can we guide our minds toward calm in these uncertain times?
