Dual-Brain Reset: Heal Trauma & Calm the Mind
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
