Feeling Lonely? Try This

ACEP • Feb 17, 2021

(by Kirsten Keach, LMFT) You can’t control many aspects of the pandemic. But you can do something right now in order to help remind your body that you are safe and connected to others even if they aren’t in the room with you. 


When you start to experience anxious or unsafe feelings, your body sends out signals via stress hormones that cause your flight, flight, freeze systems to become activated. These stress hormones make it more difficult to calm down. You can learn how to calm your body’s stress responses naturally. 

One way to do that is to practice a technique called Simplified Self-Havening. You can try this practice by following the video below.
