Jacqui Maguire speaks to George Bonanno, Professor of Clinical Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University and Director of the Loss, Trauma, and Emotion Lab. In this episode, Jacqui and George discuss how human beings cope with loss, trauma and other forms of extreme adversity (e.g. COVID-19). Resilience, flexible coping, emotion, regulatory processes and grief are all discussed. This is a fascinating listen that sheds light on the hope that most of us will be OK, no matter how big the challenge.
