Liz Stanley is a Georgetown University professor and the creator of Mindfulness-based Mind Fitness Training (MMFT)®, referred to as MMFT® for short.
Elizabeth A. Stanley, Ph.D., is a professor of security studies at Georgetown University. She speaks, teaches, and writes about resilience, political psychology civil-military relations, and international security. She is the award-winning author of Paths to Peace (2009), about the domestic politics of war termination, and the international bestseller Widen the Window (2019), about the neurobiology of stress, trauma, and resilience. Earlier in her career, she served as a U.S. Army intelligence officer in Asia, Europe, and on two peacekeeping deployments in the Balkans.
MMFT has been tested through four neuroscience studies with the U.S. military and taught to many thousands in civilian and military high-stress environments, to help people build their resilience. Liz is a longstanding mindfulness practitioner and a certified practitioner of Somatic Experiencing, a body-based trauma therapy.
About Liz's newest book Widen the Window
“I don’t think I have ever read a book that paints such a complex and accurate landscape of what it is like to live with the legacy of trauma as this book does, while offering a comprehensive approach to healing that is simultaneously based on both on the author’s own personal experiences and journey into health, as well as on a thorough scientific understanding of the underlying issues about the ways that mind, brain, and body are affected by traumatic stress.”
Bessel van der Kolk, MD, author of The Body Keeps the Score
