Long Haul COVID: A Survivor’s Guide

Worldwide, COVID-19 has ruined lives and killed millions. How can people deal with its suffering, pain and uncertainty? Psychologist Joseph J. Trunzo and COVID-19 survivor Julie Luongo suggest methods based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people cope with the pandemic and its after effects. They report that people handling chronic illnesses or the aftermath of trauma have found this approach helpful. While getAbstract never gives medical advice, the authors' proactive exercises may be useful to those seeking resilience and “psychological flexibility” to help them come to terms with the pandemic and traumas of other kinds.
