Reply to "Looking to collaborate to increase awareness of ACES/trauma and Long Haul COVID"

Hi Elizabeth, thank you for your post. I believe this is an important topic to discuss and explore. I have somewhat limited time to give, and also would potentially be interested in some level of engagement in anything you put together. The core of mind-body medicine research as relates to systems management of allostatic load emphasizes that if stress is unmitigated it can challenge all systems and contribute potential to the emergence of ill health as opposed to well-being. In my clinical practice (I'm a physiotherapist with focus on mental health, chronic pain/illness/disease, and mind-body medicine/mind-body integrated care) I am finding that providing experiences that regularly support the CNS/ANS relationships/patterns, for persons with long-Covid, is very supportive of improvements over time. I also use ACT and yoga therapy within the model I offer to support those with long-Covid. You may find this paper of interest: https://bioelecmed.biomedcentr...6/s42234-020-00058-0 and actually if you go to Google Scholar and type in "autonomic covid" (see here: https://scholar.google.com/sch...omic+covid&btnG= ) you will see many papers and studies looking at these associations. I consider long-Covid to be a "neural injury" and yes, the experience of it can be experienced/received as traumatic, especially within the environmental container of a global pandemic that is challenging our post-normal times patterns of living, late-stage capitalism, and that demands a capacity and forum for inner/psychospiritual work. If you advance any specific efforts that are collaborative, keep me informed, you can PM (private message) within this community forum.
