I feel confident in saying that we have all been affected to some degree by the horrific events unfolding in Ukraine. It feels surreal to be witnessing a pivotal world-event through the palms of our hands.
Last week I shared an article published by Mashable, 'Watching footage from Ukraine? Here's how to protect your mental health', written by journalist Rebecca Ruiz; a frequenter of many large publications like Mashable, Forbes, NBC News, and Al Jazeera America. I had the great opportunity to sit down with Rebecca and dive deeper into her article, its research, and how we can practically support ourselves and those around us as Russia continues to invade Ukraine.
Rebecca and I talk specifically about current research from Dr E Alison Holman and Dr Roxane Cohen Silver on the trauma responses we as removed individuals can have to confronting reports of events/ subjects.
