Gabrielle, 47 also revealed that her PTSD has become 10-fold more during the last several months during the coronavirus pandemic. For the October issue of the magazine, Gabrielle said:

"The combination of the pandemic and this racial reckoning, alongside being inundated with [images of] the brutalization of Black bodies, has sent my PTSD into overdrive. There's just terror in my body."

GABRIELLE AND HER EARLIER TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES

The actress has been quite open about her mental health issues even in the past. She had shared about her battle with PTSD. Gabrielle has uploaded a video in May 2018 and this was for The Child Mind Institute's #MyYoungerSelf campaign. The actress cum fashion designer has said that she was diagnosed with it at the age of 19. She had stated:

And she has been trying hard to cope up with the issues of the world that have sprung up anew due to the pandemic. She said:

"I break out my emotional fix-me toolkit, and I try to run through all the situations. I call it my ‘what's the likelihood of X happening?' method."

"If I'm fearful about going into a store because I'm anxious about being robbed, I'll make myself feel better by going to one where there will be witnesses to cut down those chances. It's been this way since '92. It's just something I do; second nature."

She also spoke about racism but was optimistic that there are more and better opportunities that would come her way and also for her peers from the Black community. But she feels that more needs to be done in terms of equality and diversity in the film industry of the USA. Talking on it she said:

"I'm not going to factor in change I have yet to see. For the most part, across all industries, you see the same power structure that existed before George Floyd. All of these initiatives that people are so excited about—if the people at the top haven't changed, and they're not interested in creating more space up here, how far are these people that we're bringing in going?"

  Color as a form of therapy is not a new concept. In it, electromagnetic waves in the form of the visible spectrum (that we interpret as colors) are used to cure various body illnesses. It is an ancient mode of therapy that is being reinvented. There are attempts to elucidate its scientific basis and explanation. This would help to explore and discover newer dimensions of this old remedy. Color therapy (Chromotherapy) Newton talked about solid matter and moving objects while Einstein found out that mass and energy are dual expressions of the same universal substance. It is the vibration rate of its molecules that determines its form. When slow, it is physical matter and when the vibrations are intense it is energy. Thus, light is an energy and when it interacts with matter, color is formed. Each color has its own wavelength, frequency, and energy level. And human eye is adapted to see only this energy that has a wavelength between 380-780 nm. This is therefore, the visible spe...
