Creating Safety, Connection, and Inner Calm in an Uncertain World with Neuropsychologist Dr. Sherry Kelly
Manage episode 433302767 series 3507236
We want those we care about to feel safe, loved, and secure, and we naturally want the same for ourselves. Yet in today's chaotic world, millions feel anxious, isolated, unseen, and unloved, particularly after the pandemic—which took many people's lives off course—feelings of hopelessness, confusion, disappointment, and shame abound. Often-silent expectations from others (and from ourselves) can add another layer of stress. From educational and career goals gone awry to lost friendships and broken dreams, many self-isolate, self-soothe, or resort to finding comfort, meaning, and connection in the virtual world—foraging for relationships online and through social media. However, this unfulfilling chase can exacerbate persistent feelings of emptiness.
As loneliness and mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and suicidality skyrocket, can we embrace the skills that will help us and those we love to navigate this strange new world in healthy, connective ways? Join Dr. Carla Manly and neuropsychologist Dr. Sherry Kelly for an engaging look at how our lives—and our brains—are shaped by trauma, expectations, and perceptions.
Please note that this episode contains sensitive mental health and trauma-related material including suicidality and suicide; listener discretion is advised.
