Coping with Uncertainty with Peter Vermeulen

Life is not completely predictable. It is always a bit uncertain. But now, with the Covid-19 pandemic, life is more uncertain than ever. There are so many things we don’t know and that we cannot predict. The main task of the human brain is to predict what will happen to us, so it can tell the our body what to do to survive.

During this evolving pandemic, restrictions and measures surrounding Covid-19 are changing often, this uncertainty in itself will bring anxiety to some people.
