Breath-Body-Mind Practices for Relief of Stress and Trauma in Healthcare Personnel, Patients, and Families
Dr. Richard P. Brown and Dr. Patricia Gerbarg discuss and demonstrate breath-focused, polyvagal-informed mind-body practices for relief of acute and chronic symptoms of stress, depression and trauma. By balancing the autonomic nervous system, breath practices improve emotion regulation, reduce defensive reactivity, and activate the social engagement network. Through these actions, it is possible to counteract adverse effects of the coronavirus epidemic, including anxiety, insomnia, anger, isolation, and loss.
