Todays guests are Renowned Neuroscientist Dr. Norm Farb and Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Zindel Segal, co-authors of the book Better in Every Sense, How the New Science of Sensation Can Help You Reclaim Your Life. Both are also popular professors at the University of Toronto.
In this interview, we talk about how often our old habits of behavior keep us stuck and let us down. Norm and Zindel discuss the mental maps we create throughout our lives and how these become faulty or dated and often prevent us from building new, more productive habits as we grow and evolve — as we face new adventures, relationships and challenges inc our lives. They share how we can break out of negative patterns, relieve anxiety associated with old ways of thinking, build new habits, and find fresh motivation by using a technique they call "sense foraging.” We explore feeling and sensing skills to zap us out of our default mode vs. thinking. It’s pretty interesting stuff.

Today’s interview is with the beautiful Tracy Cochran, a wonderful writer and meditation teacher. She is the author of Presence: The Art of Being at Home in Yourself. This idea of being at home with yourself came alive for me in this interview.
Tracy has a condition called Essential Tremor. You’ll notice very quickly that her voice shakes. That’s the tremor that she lives with. It is difficult to understand her at times but I felt that she was so courageous for sharing her story with us. She shares a quote from Agnes Martin…”your path is at your feet whether you notice it or not.’ Tracy believes that our own life is ultimately our spiritual practice. It doesn't exist outside on a mountaintop or with a special being to bestow it on us. It's something that opens up as we live through the challenges and adventures of our own life. So that is the spirit that she brought to this book, but also to this condition that she now lives with. Being fully present, she believes, is the key to real happiness…body heart and mind, and is key to living an authentic life.Â
She says that people have told her they listen more intently to her because it’s more difficult to hear her words sometimes.Â
I thought this was a beautiful way to approach this. I hope you take the time to hear her.Â

Today’s guest is Dr. Elizabeth Stanley, author of the book, Widen the Window, Training Your Brain and Body to Thrive During Stress. Elizabeth believes that no matter how much you struggle with stress and trauma from your past, you CAN train yourself to be more resilient.Â
During the course of her pioneering research into coping with adversity, prolonged stress exposure, and trauma, Dr. Stanley has worked with neuroscientists and stress researchers to test her game-changing resilience training program among U.S. military troops. She was inspired to do this work because of trauma in her early childhood and then again when she entered the military as a young adult.Â
She believes that the more we can access agency over our own situation, and rewire our mind and body, the more we can widen the window within which our “thinking brain” and our “survival brain” work together cooperatively. By building our resilience in this way, we can train ourselves to make wise decisions and access choice—even during times of incredible stress, uncertainty, and change.
The book and this interview are for anyone that has lived on the continuum of stress to trauma.

It's Sleep Week on Untangle and I’m thrilled to encore this episode with Dr. Shelby Harris.
Shelby is a Clinical Psychologist, Board Certified in Behavioural Sleep Disorders, and is a leading expert in the field of Behavioral Sleep Medicine (BSM). Behavioral Sleep Medicine (BSM) is a branch of clinical sleep medicine and health psychology that focuses on identifying the cognitive and behavioral factors that contribute to sleep disorders. Behavioral sleep medicine is a fairly new area of practice and has been recognized as a sub-specialty since 2003. Although commonly thought of for only insomnia, these treatments encompass many different areas of sleep disorders.
The book we discussed in this episode is called The Women’s Guide to Overcoming Insomnia — Get a Good Night Sleep Without Relying on Medication. Shelby covers the nuts and bolts of a good night's sleep, how our hormones affect our sleep, and how we can change certain habits, thoughts, and behaviors so we can stomp out insomnia for good.

Sleep Week on Untangle. Encore episode hosted by Ariel Garten.
Our guest, Dr Adrian Owen, is a Professor at The Brain and Mind Institute, Western University, Canada and the former Canada Excellence Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience and Imaging.
As a renowned neuroscientist, he performed the largest sleep and cognition study in the world, and demonstrated what we can do to sleep better and improve our own conscious function.
His research combines neuroimaging (MRI and EEG), with cognitive studies in brain-injured patients and healthy participants.
His lab studies patients who have sustained brain injuries that result in disorders of consciousness. They also study patients with neurodegenerative diseases in order to understand more about the causes and consequences of the memory, perception and reasoning problems that many of them experience.
Finally, he develops web-based tools for the assessment of cognitive function, both in healthy participants and in patients with disorders of the brain.
