NN COVID-19 Stress, Distress & Trauma Series
NN COVID Series: 1 – Patterns of Stress determine Risk & Resilience
This brief (15 min) video with Dr. Bruce Perry discusses how the pattern of stress can determine risk or resilience. The importance of structure, predictability, and moderation of daily stress is highlighted. The malleability of the capacity to demonstrate resilience is discussed.
NN COVID Series: 2 – Understanding State-dependent Functioning
This brief (20 min) video with Dr. Bruce Perry reviews how stress and distress change the way we think, feel and behave. The relevance of the current pandemic is discussed.
NN COVID Series: 3 – Emotional Contagion
In this brief (20 min) video, Dr. Bruce Perry discusses ’emotional contagion’ and talks about the power of calm. The concept of power differential is discussed in the context of human interactions and discusses the importance of calm, regulated leadership in times of stress and distress.
NN COVID Series: 4 – Sequence of Engagement
This is a brief video (20 min) describing the sequential processing of experience in the brain. The Regulate-Relate-Reason heuristic is explained. This simple but powerful concept can help minimize miscommunication and behavioral challenges (especially with dysregulated adults and children).
NN COVID Series: 5 – Understanding Regulation
This brief video (20 min) reviews some of the basics of ‘regulation’ and helps viewers understand why a patterned, repetitive somatosensory activity is regulating. The primary regulatory role of dissociation is also discussed. Very basic neuroscience about stress and regulation can help viewers understand the power of intentional regulatory practices – especially in the current COVID-19 pandemic.
NN COVID Series: 6 – Dosing & Spacing
This video discusses elaborates on the importance of the “pattern” of stress and stress activation with a focus on the concept of ‘dosing.’ What is considered a “moderate” dose of stress – why is this important in building resilience? And what is the power of the moment? This video presents some important background for understanding the importance of small but powerful relational moments.
