All about the psychological risks of anti-abortion laws
I was in a Hollywood Starbucks when I received the news alert that Alabama was going to try to put an end to abortions once and for all. The whole mood shifted almost immediately as I saw other women glance down at the buzzes and pings on their phone."God fucking damnnit," one muttered as she slumped in her chair and clicked the story. There was an almost tangible stench in the air that made us all stop sipping our coffees and typing on our computers.
"With every news alert, you get every ping your phone makes has a physiological response in your body, you get a hit of adrenaline, you get a hit of cortisol [which is a] stress hormones," says Melissa Paschke, LCSW, ERYT Brooklyn PPD Support."We are constantly drunk on stress hormones, saturated with [them] all day every day."
"It's a very anxiety-provoking experience, especially for people who have experienced trauma," says Joyce."Seeing that played out in the news can definitely trigger memories of that experience and with fear can come other emotions like anger." Limiting screen-time and getting rid of news notifications, as difficult as it is, is critical in keeping a semblance of balance in our lives. Our brains were not meant to function with an influx of signals 24 hours a day without rest. Especially so when those signals make us feel like crawling into a hole and never coming out again. It can also be incredibly triggering for anyone who has experienced trauma.
