Managing Mental Health in Difficult Times
Being under stress isn’t a new condition for Jews. But with decades of Israeli power and relative diaspora security, our people have gotten used to a historically unusual state of calm. As the last few years have shown, political and even physical insecurity may be the new normal. While there’s no need to panic, that kind of chronic stress takes a physical and mental toll. Some are in combat on Israel’s front lines, and some have loved one’s who are. Some are on campus or city streets confronting rising antisemitism.
We decided to record this unusual episode to address that issue. How do we manage to take care of ourselves when we don’t control the external forces that are causing us stress? What is the basic biologically of stress? What steps can we take, and what habits can we develop, that will help us navigate these difficult times?
Mike and Alan host our guest expert Dina Kessler.
