Prepare to dive deep into the intricate web of human psychology, trauma, and the essence of personal responsibility.
Today, I’m joined by the insightful Dr. Paul Conti, a psychiatrist, consultant, and author who is adept at helping people untangle complex problems and find a path to healing. His book, Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, examines the most recent research, clinical best practices, and dozens of real-life stories to present a deeper, richer, and more urgent view of trauma.
In the second part of this episode, Dr. Conti emphasizes the importance of acknowledging our traumas, understanding their origins, and taking proactive steps towards healing and self-awareness. We also explore the societal misconceptions surrounding trauma, the significance of human connections in our healing process, and how logic and emotion work to craft our narratives.
