Now patients and clinicians alike are seeking deeper, more somatic, and holistic attachment theory-based forms of treatment to re-write the trauma narrative, such as somatic psychology and EMDR. The pandemic brought about significant changes in our stability, sense of community and political and economic landscapes. Because of this added stress, we’re all experiencing a heightened level of sensitivity, resulting in multifactorial trauma responses, an impact that spans nations, ages and socioeconomic status.
