A pioneering researcher gives us a new understanding of stress and
trauma, as well as the tools to heal and thrive. This
groundbreaking book examines the cultural norms that impede
resilience in America, especially our collective tendency to
disconnect stress from its potentially extreme consequences and
override our need to recover. It explains the science of how to
direct our attention to perform under stress and recover from
trauma, exploring how our survival brain and thinking brain react
to traumatic situations differently. By directing our attention in
particular ways, we can widen the window within which our thinking
brain and survival brain work together cooperatively. When we use
awareness to regulate our biology this way, we can access our best,
uniquely human qualities: our compassion, courage, curiosity,
creativity, and connection with others. By building our resilience,
we can train ourselves to make wise decisions and access choice -
even during times of incredible stress, uncertainty and change.
With stories from men and women Dr Stanley has trained in settings
as varied as military bases, healthcare facilities, as well as her
own striking experiences with stress and trauma, she gives readers
hands-on strategies they can use themselves, whether they want to
perform under pressure or heal from traumatic experience, while at
the same time pointing our understanding in a new direction.
Foreword by Bessel Van Der Kolk, bestselling author of The Body
Keeps the Score. 'Widen the Window is a comprehensive overview of
stress and trauma, responses to it, and tools for healing and
thriving. It's not only for those in high-intensity work, but for
everyone.' - Mindful Magazine
