How to Reduce Your Risk of PTSD in a Post-Covid-19 World
- Will this end and will I be ok? Why would God allow something like Covid-19? Can God help me with all my problems and financial needs? Is it a sin to worry all the time?
- These are the questions patients in my therapy practice are asking, and I can’t emphasize enough that it’s normal to feel anxious now. The risk of developing a life-threatening illness alongside the loss of the things that usually anchor us is a brutal one-two-punch that would leave anyone feeling on edge.
- How you handle stress makes a difference in how you ultimately cope. You can create positive habits and reduce response patterns that predict post-traumatic stress disorder, in which a terrifying event leads to symptoms such as disturbing flashbacks and severe anxiety. Unfortunately, we can’t will away sadness and fear. Living through such emotions without exacerbating your pain and suffering takes skill.
- The truth is that there are proven steps you can practice to improve your physical, spiritual and emotional health during the coronavirus pandemic.
- Here are three truths:
- It is normal to feel a sense of hopelessness (Psalms 31:24)"Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD."
- It is possible to feel alone due to isolation and lack of social contact. ( Hebrew 13:5) Jesus has promised to never leave us alone in this world. Therefore we are never separated from His love or His presence (Romans 8:35-39)
- It is normal to want to give in to the fear of the unknown. (2 Timothy 1:7) Tells us that God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
