It gets better: expert tips on coping with a catastrophic news cycle

How do you cope with catastrophic news?

The world is reeling watching events unfold in Israel/Palestine. As the death toll climbs on both sides, and information is released including the deaths of families and babies, it becomes more and more difficult to process the news. It’s heartbreaking no matter which side you support – the Palestinians face a massive military onslaught, and the Israelis have just suffered the worst attack on their homeland in 50 years. So how do you cope?

In this episode of The Briefing, we’re joined by Professor Ian Hickie, co-director of the Brain & Mind Institute at the University of Sydney, to learn coping mechanisms to help you navigate your way through troubled times.
