A pioneering researcher gives us a new understanding of anxiety and trauma, as well as the tools to heal and thrive. This innovative book examines the cultural patterns that hinder resilience in America, particularly our common tendency to disconnect anxiety from its potentially extreme consequences and overlook our need to recover. It explains the science of how we can direct our attention to perform under pressure and recover from traumatic situations, exploring how our survival brain and thinking brain respond to traumatic situations differently.
By directing our attention in specific ways, we can widen the window within which the two brains work together. When we use consciousness to regulate our biology in this way, we can access the best, uniquely human qualities: compassion, courage, curiosity, creativity, and connection with others. By developing our resilience, we can train ourselves to make wise decisions and have choices - even in times of incredible stress, uncertainty, and change.
With stories from men and women Dr. Stanley has trained in various settings, such as military bases and healthcare facilities, as well as from her own impressive experiences with anxiety and trauma, she provides readers with practical strategies they can use, whether they want to perform under pressure or heal from traumatic experiences. "Widen the Window" is a comprehensive review of stress and trauma, responses to them, and tools for healing and thriving. It is not only for those who work in high-intensity environments, but for everyone.
