As tensions escalate again between Israel, the U.S., and Iran, we are re-releasing this powerful conversation recorded during the last period of active conflict.
While sheltering in Tel Aviv during missile fire, I spoke with Rick Hanson, one of the world’s leading experts on resilience and the neuroscience of stress.
This is not a theoretical conversation. It was recorded in real time, in the middle of war.
We discuss:
• What happens to the brain during acute threat
• How to calm anxiety fast
• Trauma, fear, and staying emotionally open
• Parenting during war
• Finding inner stability in unstable times
If you are feeling overwhelmed by the news or carrying fear in your body, this episode offers practical, science-based tools for steadiness.
