In this episode, Fred discusses how in college he got very interested in spiritual questions and read books, learned how to meditate, thought a lot about deeper meaning and opened a vegetarian restaurant in Santa Cruz. After having his first child, he went to graduate school and decided to do his dissertation on the topic of forgiveness, which was something that he struggled with in his own life, describing himself as “dramatically unable to forgive”. He shared that the dissertation was a great success and received a lot of media attention, which set him in this direction in his research. He shared how they went for a secular approach, because a religious approach involved a lot of tribalism, and they were all essentially different portals to enter into the work of forgiveness. They integrated mindfulness and a Buddhist influenced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which were not common in psychotherapy then. We discussed my interpretation of his work and how I've conceptualized is as forgiveness is for you, not for the other person who did the harm. Fred discusses the term “trauma” and how sometimes it is used in situations that may not be trauma, and labeling it that way can lead to blame, rather than the empathy for what one has gone through and allowing the person to cope with their life right now. He discussed how forgiveness can allow us to be more connected to what is happening with one's life, right now, in the present. He shared that an essential part of forgiveness is acknowledging our vulnerability, which never goes away, and accepting that vulnerability and not blaming that which reminds us of how vulnerable we are. He said he learned more about mindfulness from Jon Kabat Zinn, Ph.D. and how when you increase awareness, you increase choice. We discussed his work with people from Northern Ireland, Israel, Palestine, Sierra Leon, Columbia and people after 9-11 and how one of the hardest parts related to forgiveness is when there are different sides, as forgiveness may lead the person's “side” to label them as a traitor. In discussing how to forgive when the person is not safe because they may not be out of the situation, like Israel and Gaza, this lead to a discussion of what makes us safe. He shared that often armoring up, becoming bitter, and trusting others less and being more guarded may feel like it's protecting us, but it also limits our capacity for love and joy. He shared that mindfulness helps us bring ourselves back to the now and in this very moment, we are usually safe. He explained that our threat response overreaches, and combatting that overreach is important to connect us to our present safety and abundance that we may have. He discusses his new workbook, The Forgive for Good Recovery Workbook, that helps people through a process of forgiveness. He leaves us with one of his favorite quotes about forgiveness: "It's giving up all hope for a better past". Frederic Luskin, Ph.D. is a psychologist in Counseling and Health Psychology from Stanford University where he has been teaching for the past 30 years. Currently, he is on the faculty for the Stanford School of Business Executive Education program where he teaches mindfulness, emotional intelligence, psychological safety, and positive psychology to executives from all over the world. He serves as Director of the Stanford University Forgiveness Projects, researching the positive effects of forgiveness for a healthy and happy life. Fred is one of the world's recognized authorities on forgiveness of self and others. He's been interviewed and featured in such media outlets as The New York Times, O Magazine, Today Show, LA Times, Time Magazine, Huffington Post, and CBS Morning News. In addition, he's published 3 books and dozens of articles on forgiveness. His book Forgive for Good is the best-selling secular self-help book published on the topic of forgiveness.

We've all been there: tossing and turning, checking the clock, and stressing about not getting enough sleep.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Aimie Apigian, author of “The Biology of Trauma: How the Body Holds Fear, Pain, and Overwhelm, and How to Heal It.”
Dr. Aimie Apigian, author of “The Biology of Trauma: How the Body Holds Fear, Pain, and Overwhelm, and How to Heal It,” details how unaddressed trauma is often the hidden cause of many preventable illnesses and is linked to eight of the ten leading causes of death. The conversation delves into the physiological responses to trauma, the mechanisms by which trauma can manifest in chronic physical ailments, and the importance of incorporating a holistic approach that includes addressing mental, somatic, and biological impacts of trauma. Dr. Apigian also shares insights from her personal journey and professional evolution, emphasizing the need for a combination of medical treatment and trauma work for optimal health.
Most doctors dream about leaving the ER grind, but here's what's remarkable: Dr. Nico Grundmann didn't just escape - he built something that's actually changing how we think about mental healthcare at scale.In this conversation, Sam sits down with Dr. Grundmann, an emergency physician who took his systems-thinking background and created something unprecedented: a five-location ketamine practice that's generating the kind of data insurance companies actually pay attention to. We're talking about going from solo practitioner to managing 30 team members while maintaining the clinical rigor that makes this work sustainable.What makes this conversation essential listening? Dr. Grundmann's approach shows exactly how individual practices can drive policy-level change - but it requires thinking beyond your patient panel to the broader healthcare system. His story proves that with the right framework, you can build something that's both profitable and positioned to influence national coverage decisions.If you've ever wondered how to scale beyond a single clinic without losing clinical quality, or if you're curious about what it really takes to collect data that insurance companies respect, this conversation will give you the roadmap you need.What You'll Learn in This Episode

Alongside theory, you'll learn actionable strategies and tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that you can apply today. These include the Daily Mood Log and the double column technique, which help you challenge distorted thinking and replace it with healthier, more balanced perspectives.
