Welcome to How to Cope! A new podcast exploring just how we can best manage our mental health, when the global coronavirus crisis is doing its very best to pummel our sanity into a pulp.
Each episode, writer Becky Howard and psychotherapist Lucy Clyde will explore one element of the overwhelming amount of changes we're all having to deal with - and help us all find our way through this the best way we can.
From relationship challenges to mood swings, loneliness to parenting crises, Covid-19 is having all sorts of unprecedented impacts on our lives. So we're going to talk, share advice, and laugh our way through this, from a socially-responsible distance of at least 2 metres, of course.

Toxic stress is here, and the effects on our mental health are real. Unbelievably, it’s almost been a year since the Covid-19 pandemic took hold in the UK, and the collective stress experienced by us all is very different now to how it was back at the start.
Unlike general stress – which tends to follow an up and down pattern – toxic stress is where the stressor doesn’t go away. With all of us on lockdown and unable to find our usual releases from this unending stress, how can we cope?
In this episode, we chat through the different types of toxic stress affecting us – from general pandemic awfulness, to adapting to the constantly shifting goalposts and the self-inflicted toxic stress of social media. We look at some solutions to alleviating the toxic stress load on our bodies and minds – what can we do to stop the revving brain?
