What if anxiety, cravings, and PTSD symptoms ease by activating the other side of your brain—on purpose?

Host Lisa Urbanski sits down with Fredric Schiffer, MD (Harvard/McLean; Dual-Brain Psychology) to explore why painful experiences can dominate one hemisphere and how simple hemispheric-stimulation tactics—like the envelope/special glasses technique—may quickly lift mood, reduce fear, and restore confidence. We unpack how each hemisphere can carry a different “mind,” why accessing the healthier side matters, and where emerging tools (including LED photobiomodulation) and ongoing addiction research fit into recovery. Educational, practical, and surprisingly simple.

You’ll learn:

• Why trauma can “stick” in one hemisphere—and how to engage the other
• How to try safe, low-tech visual-field prompts (envelope/glasses) at home
• What Dr. Schiffer’s clinic is testing for fentanyl addiction and PTSD support
• When structured practice beats willpower—and how to build a 12-week plan
• Why relaxation boosts creativity, decision-making, and long-term resilience

What if your anxiety lives mostly in one hemisphere, and shifting your gaze could change how you feel in minutes?

In this eye-opening episode, host Lisa Urbanski dives into dual-brain psychology with Dr. Fredric Schiffer, MD. Discover how early experiences can lodge trauma in one brain hemisphere, and how simple visual-field techniques (yes, even an envelope or specialized glasses) may help you access the healthier side for calmer mood, clearer thinking, and more resilient behavior.

Dr. Schiffer also shares the science behind his work on fentanyl-use disorder and PTSD, including promising LED neuromodulation research and practical ways to balance your inner “two minds.”

What you’ll learn:

• Why meaningful experience shapes the brain more than information alone
• How to use the left/right visual field to engage your steadier hemisphere
• When the “troubled side” takes over—and how to recenter fast
• Updates on addiction research, PTSD applications, and mood support
• Gentle ways to challenge negative thoughts with your healthy co-therapist (your other hemisphere)

What if “good” and “evil” are brain-side switches you can influence—shifting cravings, fear, and moral choices in real time?

Award-winning host Lisa Urbanski sits down with Fred Schiffer, MD (Dual Brain Psychology) to unpack how trauma, addiction, and morality play out across the brain’s two hemispheres. From LED forehead stimulation and eye-covering techniques to the realities of buprenorphine/Suboxone withdrawal and a fentanyl study in progress, Dr. Schiffer explains practical, research-driven ways to reduce cravings, calm panic, and rebuild self-trust—without oversimplifying “good vs. evil.”

You’ll learn:

• Why one brain side can push harm while the other seeks healing
• How trauma + humiliation wire “good/evil” narratives we live by
• Simple hemisphere activation tactics to lower fear and cravings
• What Dr. Schiffer’s fentanyl and LED work suggests about recovery
• Safer ways to think about Suboxone tapering and withdrawal anxiety (education only)

🎧 If you’ve wrestled with anxiety, cravings, or the weight of moral injury—this conversation offers science, nuance, and hope.
