How To Waste Your Life & Never Be Happy - The #1 Thing Sabotaging You | Paul Conti PT 1
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 this episode, Dr. Conti unravels the complexities of trauma, its lasting impact on our mental and emotional well-being, and the pivotal role of personal responsibility in our healing journey. He emphasizes the importance of acknowledging our traumas, understanding their origins, and taking proactive steps towards healing and self-awareness.
Join us as we 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.
