How to Recover and Rewire to be More Resilient

Douglas Eby

"Wild animals go through traumatic events all the time but they don't [usually] develop PTSD.

Elizabeth Stanley, PhD adds, "Each time through this cycle [trauma and recovery] they add to their toolbox of survival skills and they widen their window.

"In humans however, we have a thinking brain that can override this automatic process controlled by the survival brain and nervous system, and we often impede this recovery process."

Those comments are from her online program Mindfulness-based Mind Fitness Training.
