Free Trauma Recovery Webinar from Sounds True: How to Heal Past Trauma and Thrive in Stressful Times with Dr. Elizabeth Stanley
In this exploration of Mindfulness-based Mind Fitness Training (MMFT)® with Dr. Elizabeth Stanley, you’ll learn:
As a US Army veteran with a PTSD diagnosis who thought it would be cool to pursue two graduate degrees simultaneously, she was a pro at it—or so she thought.
It took the onset of asthma, chronic lung infections, a near-death experience, insomnia, migraines, clinical depression, and temporary blindness for her to finally decide that there must be a better way.
For the next 15 years, she studied the neurobiology of stress, trauma, and resilience—initially as a way to save herself, and then to help others heal, too.
The result? An evidence-based approach to resilience called Mindfulness-based Mind Fitness Training (MMFT)®.
MMFT® has been tested through rigorous neuroscience and stress physiology research. Since 2008, Dr. Stanley and her collaborators have conducted four studies with combat troops preparing to deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan—with strong positive results published in top-tier scientific journals.
Today, her work has evolved to help others recover from past chronic stress and trauma and thrive in high-stress environments, including: medical staff, firefighters, essential workers, teachers, parents, trauma survivors—and thousands of others seeking to succeed amid long-term stress and uncertainty.

MMFT’s Three Training Lineages—How mindfulness practices, body-based trauma recovery and healing modalities, and the world’s warrior traditions work together to widen our window of tolerance to stress
She’s also a certified practitioner of Somatic Experiencing®, a body-based trauma therapy that helps you to heal from trauma, and is the author of the acclaimed book Widen the Window: Training Your Brain and Body to Thrive During Stress and Recover from Trauma.
Some key benefits supported by the research: improved cognitive performance, greater sustained attention, better working memory, lower perceived stress, less emotional reactivity, faster and more complete trauma recovery from stressful contexts, improved sleep, greater pain tolerance, and fewer negative emotions.
While these benefits were documented among troops preparing for deployment, they are available to everyone! For those of us facing less stressful circumstances than combat, the beneficial outcomes to healing from trauma are likely to be even greater.
