Elizabeth Stanley, PhD: Widen the Window
Why does an event stress one person but traumatize another? According to Dr. Elizabeth Stanley, we have a tendency to disconnect stress from its consequences and override our need to recover, thus impeding resiliency. She teaches that recovery and resilience can be learned and we can alter the effects and outcomes of any situation, and she offers strategies to help us perform while under pressure and to heal from traumatic experiences. Dr. Stanley is an army veteran, a pioneering researcher, and an associate professor of security studies at Georgetown University. She is the author of the book, Widen the Window: Training Your Brain and Body to Thrive During Stress and Recover from Trauma.
