How to keep calm, carry on, and reconnect during times of social
isolation and emotional crisis. Although spending time alone for
short periods may be restorative and helpful, unintentional or
involuntary isolation can have profound detrimental effects on
emotional and physical health. We all need social interaction and
meaningful relationships in our lives to be well and thrive.
Without them, we flounder. In Reconnecting after Isolation, Dr.
Susan J. Noonan draws on our collective experience of the COVID-19
pandemic to help readers deal with the emotional impact of social
isolation. Speaking as both a provider and recipient of mental
health care services, Noonan combines her professional and personal
experiences in an evidence-based and practical guide. Drawing on
meticulous research and interviews with four psychologists, she
outlines steps to overcome the emotional trauma of isolation. The
book touches on how social isolation, loneliness, and stress affect
each of us individually and can sometimes provoke depression,
anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, suicidality, and substance
use. Describing specific lifestyle interventions that may help, it
offers tips for * developing effective coping skills * facing
isolation-induced fears adapting effectively to the changes in our
personal, family, work, academic, and social lives caused by
imposed isolation * finding effective, culturally sensitive mental
health care * improving sleep hygiene * building and maintaining
resilience * adopting a healthy diet * overcoming the fatigue
burnout * grieving a loss * engaging in regular physical exercise *
keeping a daily routine or structure * maintaining contact with
others Dr. Noonan also discusses re-entry anxiety, the challenging
experience many have upon returning to their prior lifestyle, and
the difficulty of establishing new school and work routines
following social isolation. Accessible and compassionate,
Reconnecting after Isolation empowers individuals to manage their
own challenges, offering them a better chance of recovery and of
staying well.
