Living through this pandemic
is a trauma.

Kerry D. King Psy.D, M.B.A – KeyStone Center Chief Clinical Officer

As a trauma specialist, there are a few things that are helpful to know:

  • Parts of our brain have shut down in order for us to survive.
  • As a result, we are not able to fully process a lot of what is going on around us.
  • Feeling somewhat numb and out of touch with our emotions is normal, especially if you have lived through trauma before.
  • Some people are more apt to feel hyper vigilant or anxious, while others become hypoactive or depressed. Neither means anything other than indicating your predisposition to dealing with extreme stress.
  • In-depth processing of trauma happens years later, when we feel emotionally safe to deal with it.
  • When in the midst of trauma, just getting by emotionally and functionally is okay. Lowering expectations and being kind to yourself and others is vital.
