Episode notes

Suffering is an unavoidable part of the human experience absolutely and that everyone is going through it. While your loss is deeply personal and individualized the narrative we create for ourselves that no one can understand what I am going through is profoundly untrue. Everybody's had an ownership of that day and sort of almost adopted him and his pain because they felt like they shared it with him, she says.

On the 20th anniversary of 9/11 we discuss the tragically beautiful Academy Award nominated film Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. In this episode we discuss the unique journey of Oskar Schell as he processes the life changing event of losing the person who understood him best in the world while simultaneously living through the collective trauma of the September 11th attacks. We are joined by special guests Dr. David Paltin who is an expert in Neuro-Atypical Presentations and Andrew Rubin who is the president of Symptom Media.
