We talk with Peter Barach, PhD, about our clinical experiences of the transition to telehealth because of COVID. He shares about the importance of eye contact in stopping flashbacks. We share about trying to cope with quarantine as a new trauma without creating a new alter. We discuss trauma triggers experienced in quarantine, including physiological responses on the PolyVagal ladder. Examples given include reference to war zones, entrapment, and foster care. Dr. Barach reviews several basic coping skills and relaxation techniques. We talk about resources like EMDR apps and interventions that support people while we wait for in person sessions resume.
