Training Your Brain and Body to Thrive During Stress and Recover from Trauma Stress is our internal response to an experience that our brain perceives as threatening or challenging. Trauma is our response to an experience in which we feel powerless or lacking agency. By directing our attention in particular ways, we can widen the window within which our thinking brain and survival brain work together cooperatively. By building our resilience, we can train ourselves to make wise decisions and access choice - even during times of incredible stress, uncertainty, and change. This book explains the science of how to direct our attention to perform under stress and recover from trauma.
