If ever someone was born to write a book, that person was trauma survivor Elizabeth A Stanley. And the book was Widen the Window: Training Your Brain and Body to Thrive During Stress and Recover from Trauma.
And the most important things Elizabeth wants readers to know are: One, she has skin in the game, and two, whatever you have experienced, there is a solution to your suffering.
“There’s nothing in Widen the Window that I haven’t grappled within my own mind and body and no tool or concept I teach that hasn’t personally helped me and thousands of other people,” explains Elizabeth. “I’ve experienced a lot of stress and trauma in my life, from childhood abuse and family alcoholism to rape to military deployments (including a near-death experience after I stopped breathing while deployed in Bosnia), to sexual harassment. For many years, I coped by powering through, compartmentalizing, and denying these experiences. My body bore the burden of that denial, which manifested in a range of physical illnesses, depression, and PTSD. It finally took losing my eyesight to see that there’s an easier way.”
Widen the Window grew from Elizabeth’s own healing journey and from teaching the resilience program she created—Mindfulness-based Mind Fitness Training (MMFT®), which has been tested through rigorous neuroscience research and published in top-tier science journals. To date, MMFT research has been featured on 60 Minutes, ABC Evening News, NPR, Time Magazine, The Washington Post, and many other media outlets. She has also partnered with Sounds True to create an online version of the MMFT course.
A professor of security studies at Georgetown University, Elizabeth A Stanley is the award-winning author of Paths to Peace and Widen the Window: Training Your Brain and Body to Thrive During Stress and Recover from Trauma.
Dr. Elizabeth Stanley joins Rebecca and Sandie this week to share her story and the tools that she has subsequently taught to thousands in high-stress environments, including corporate leaders, first responders, healthcare workers, diplomats, military service-members, and members of Congress.

Adolescence is a unique and formative time in life as well as a crucial period for developing and maintaining social and emotional habits important for mental well-being. The challenges of being a teenager and raising a teenager are well known. But thanks to Covid 19, those challenges have greatly escalated over the past year. With depression, anxiety, suicide, addictions, and other mental health issues rapidly escalating in children, it’s time to take a look at what we, as parents and caregivers, can do to support and guide our teens and tweens through this difficult time.
Lara Honos-Webb, PhD is a Practicing Clinical Psychologist licensed in California. A family therapist who works with teenagers, she is the author of several books on Attention Deficit Disorder, and is known for her distinctive reframing of mental illnesses that are commonly conceived as detrimental into gifts that offer exceptional strengths.
Dr. Honos-Webb joins Rebecca and Sandie this week to explain how the emerging knowledge of adolescent neural development and the tools shared in her new book, Six Super Skills for Executive Functioning, can help teens learn how to develop their self-confidence, regulate their emotions and mood, improve their focus, enhance their motivation, and bring them the hope, optimism, and skills that lead to immediate relief and improvement, as well as lasting growth to serve a lifetime.

We all know people whose lives would be so much better if only they would listen to our advice and change...
We argue and fight with parents, relatives, students or children who don’t do what we want them to... we criticize colleagues who don’t behave in a way that we feel they should, and even sever relationships with partners, loved ones, and friends who won’t listen to us, even when we’re telling them something for their own good.
The truth is we all think WE know what’s best for others. Sometimes, we might even be right. But regardless of how well-meaning our motivation is, will never change someone by pushing.
So how do we get people to change? According to the latest neuroscience, there is a secret biological key to coaching genuine, lasting change in the lives of others and in us. Joining Rebecca and Sandie this week to explain the mechanisms that affect our ability to let go of behaviors, habits, thought patterns, and addictions that don’t serve us and open to new ideas and change is expert in the field of emotional intelligence, behavioral change, and competence, Professor Richard Boyatzis.
Richard Boyatzis PhD is a distinguished University professor at Case Western Reserve University, as well as a professor in the departments of Organizational Behavior, Psychology, and Cognitive Science. A fellow of the American Psychological Association, the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology, and the Association for Psychological Sciences, he is the author of over 200 papers and nine books including one that reveals the secret we’d all like to know... Helping People Change: Coaching with Compassion for Lifelong Learning and Growth.

How quickly can you remodel your brain for joy?
Stunning new research shows that “flow” states begin changing your brain within hours. With practice, they remodel key brain regions completely. Stress circuits shrink while happiness circuits grow.
This leads to “Bliss Brain”––a state in which joy is natural. It nurtures the personality traits of patience, compassion, creativity, and love.
This week, legendary researcher Dawson Church explains the neuroscience behind these discoveries, and teaches the 7 simple steps that lead to elevated emotional states.
Dawson Church is an award-winning author and researcher who has edited or authored a number of books in the fields of health, psychology, and spirituality, including The Genie in Your Genes, Mind to Matter: The Astonishing Science of How Your Brain Creates Material Reality, and Bliss Brain: The Neuroscience of Remodeling Your Brain for Resilience, Creativity, and Joy, which demonstrates that peak mental states rapidly remodel the brain for happiness.
Dawson has conducted dozens of clinical trials and founded the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare (NIIH.org) to promote groundbreaking new treatments. Its largest program, the Veterans Stress Project, has offered free treatment to over 20,000 veterans with PTSD over the past decade. Dawson shares how to apply these health and performance breakthroughs through EFT Universe (EFTUniverse.com), one of the largest alternative medicine sites on the web.

“There are no bad parts.”
We’ve all been taught to believe that we have a single identity or personality, and to feel fear or shame when we can’t control the inner voices that don’t match the ideal of who we think we should be. Yet according to Dr. Richard Schwartz’s research, “All of us are born with many sub-minds—or parts,” and it’s perfectly natural to think that some of them are so bad they must stay hidden.
But the fact is, says Dr. Schwartz, there are no bad parts... for the simple reason that every single part has a purpose.
Dr. Richard C. Schwartz has been transforming psychology for decades with his internal family systems (IFS) model developed in response to clients’ descriptions of various parts within themselves. in 2000, he founded the Center for Self-Leadership which offers trainings and workshops in IFS for professionals and the general public. He is the author of five books including, No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model.
Richard Schwartz joins Rebecca and Sandie this week to share why his IFS model has been so effective in areas such as trauma recovery, addiction therapy, and depression treatment and how this new understanding of consciousness has the potential to radically change our lives.

As the media continues to focus attention on the worst pandemic in living memory, there is an altogether different epidemic that has been steadily and relentlessly decimating more and more people’s lives over the last 50 years. Strangely, despite all the highly touted advances science, psychiatry, and the pharmaceutical industry have made in uncovering and treating the biological causes of mental and behavioral disorders this last half-century, the number of disabled mentally ill in the USA and other parts of the world has skyrocketed.
Which begs the question: if we have treatments that effectively address mental health disorders, as is claimed, why has mental illness around the world reached epidemic proportions, when logic says it should have diminished?
Robert Whitaker is an American journalist and author who has won numerous awards as a journalist covering medicine and science, including the George Polk Award for Medical Writing and a National Association for Science Writers’ Award for best magazine article.
In 1998, he co-wrote a series on psychiatric research for the Boston Globe that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. His first book, Mad in America: Bad Science, Bad Medicine, and the Enduring Mistreatment of the Mentally Ill, was named by Discover magazine as one of the best science books of 2002. Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness won the 2010 Investigative Reporters and Editors book award for best investigative journalism. He is the publisher of madinamerica.com.
Robert Whitaker joins Rebecca and Sandie on Cracked! The Podcast this week to share how the psychiatric establishment in America regularly misled the public about what was known about the biology of mental disorders, the validity of psychiatric diagnoses, and the safety and efficacy of its drugs.

According to Hungarian-Canadian physician, speaker and best-selling author, Dr. Gabor Maté: “Trauma is a psychic wound that hardens you psychologically and then interferes with your ability to grow and develop. It pains you and now you’re acting out of pain. It induces fear and now you’re acting out of fear. Trauma is not what happens to you, it’s what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you. Trauma is that scarring that makes you less flexible, more rigid, less feeling and more defended.”
In this episode of Cracked! The Podcast, Rebecca Schaper and Sandie Sedgbeer speak with group and individual psychotherapist and author, Malcolm Stern about understanding, moving beyond, and healing emotional, physical, and psychological trauma.
MALCOLM STERN originally trained in Humanistic Psychology and has been working as a group and individual psychotherapist for more than 30 years. He is co-director and co-founder of alternatives at Alternatives, the internationally renowned platform for leading spiritual teachers and alternative thinking at St. James’s Church in London. In addition to running psychotherapy groups and courses internationally, he teaches occasionally at the Esalen Institute in California and Findhorn in Scotland, and is the author of Falling in Love, Staying in Love, and Slay Your Dragons with Compassion – 10 Ways to Thrive Even When it Feels Impossible.

With statistics showing that stress, depression, anxiety and fear are fast becoming a major global problem, more and more people are turning to medical marijuana to help lift their low moods, calm chronic tension, ameliorate withdrawal symptoms, and ease their physical, mental, and emotional pain.
But how effective is medical marijuana really? And, perhaps more importantly, how safe?
While marijuana is the most commonly used drug of abuse in the USA, 26 states and the District of Columbia have now enacted laws that have legalized its use in some form, and three additional states have passed measures permitting the use of medical marijuana. With the cannabis debate being such a hot topic of late, Rebecca and Sandie have invited experts Dr. Rasean Hodge and Nick McCauley on to Cracked! The Podcast this week to unravel some of the many myths and misconceptions about cannabis in general, and the question of medical marijuana being a safer alternative to opiates and NSAIDs in treating PTS, depression, anxiety, addiction, mental health issues, and pain.
Dr. Rasean Hodge received his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Morehouse College and earned his medical degree, cum laude, from the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Dr. Hodge completed his internship and residency in Family Medicine from the Morehouse School of Medicine in 2005.
Upon completion of his education, Hodge matriculated into Family Medicine and served as Investigator on numerous clinical research studies aimed at making the human condition better for those who are suffering. His compassion for those in need continued to be evident as he has led several Hospice Programs throughout Georgia as both Medical Director and Assistant Medical Director.
Nick McCauley is an expert on marijuana.
