We are in a time of unprecedented disruption in our lives. It can feel at times, like danger lurks everywhere. Because of this, we are experiencing anxiety, stress, and disconnection. This podcast will discuss how at a deep level, we need to feel connected to others, we need a sense of safety, to help us to feel like we are thriving, resilient and can deal with the stressors of these times. We need connection and safety to help activate our immune system; and when we don't have them, our sense of danger will actually work against our immune system.
