Check-in with Dr Dayna Lee-Baggley

Season 3 Episode 24

Hey P-Soupers - I almost called this episode 'Help, my caveman brain's on fire' but I thought that might be a bit niche.

This is a check in with our previous guest, behaviour change expert, Registered Clinical Psychologist and author, Dr Dayna Lee-Baggley.

We check-in on a whole range of topics to support ourselves and each other in these challenging times.

Topics include:

• how our brains are processing the information that we're being bombarded with and why our caveman mind is on fire;
• how our frontal lobe battery might also be getting drained;
• how we can think about the response to coronavirus as a war, where we're all working together towards the same goal;
• reminding ourselves of our own values in physical isolation - we're supporting the most vulnerable in society and those caring for them;
• how we can encourage emotional connection during physical isolation;
• how we can create routine and purpose;
• how we can take this time to re-evaluate what's important.

In 10 year's time will we look back and be proud of what we did during Covid19? We can certainly be proud of our physical distancing.
