Lauren Dry: Why People Can't Let Go of the Pandemic


Listen Later

Lauren Dry is a specialist in nervous system and unconscious-driven behaviours. She joined Discernable to explore why so many people are 'stuck' post-pandemic and acting emotionally and unconsciously. 


Serving as case study is the paradoxical treatment of Novak Djokovic by angry Australians, and the way humans descend into groupthink, social norms and reactionary grasps for 'safety'.


Steered by media and opportunistic governments, populations swing from one 'villain' to another, with some ultimately finding themselves in the arms of 'freedom' movements that are just as manipulative and fear-driven.


Is there a way to break free and live aware of our unconscious triggers, motivations and vulnerabilities?
