Is it possible to respond to such global disruption in any significant way? The answer is yes, as we learn to viscerally speak to our body in a way that comforts and organizes us. Because it is our body that registers the possibility of threat it is our body that seeks a reassuring sense of life as predictable, meaningful and filled with connection. When we create a schedule and keep to it, move our body when feeling numb or unfocused, or express creativity in cooking, art, or organizing the house, we become agents of change with increased control over our environment. In doing so we offset the potent effects of these precursors to trauma.
