The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy
Suffering Is Collective, and So Is Healing: Belonging, Ritual, and Meaning in Uncertain Times - An Interview with Suzan Song, MD Suzan Song, MD, psychiatrist and medical anthropologist, on why suffering is collective and healing comes through belonging, ritual, and meaning. Curt and Katie talk with Suzan Song, MD about why the exhaustion so many therapists and clients are carrying right now is not only personal. Drawing on more than two decades of global mental health work with survivors of war, trafficking, and mass violence, Suzan makes the case that distress is often collective, shaped by culture and unstable systems, and that healing happens through belonging, narrative, ritual, meaning, and agency, not symptom elimination alone. She names what American mental health training often misses when it treats suffering as something bounded inside a single person, and offers concrete, low-cost rituals therapists can use to stay grounded. The conversation moves from collective grief and moral exhaustion to the difference between functioning and healing, and to grounding in relationship: who you matter to, and who matters to you. This is a grounding conversation for therapists feeling stretched by the current moment, and for anyone drawn to a global mental health lens on collective trauma, ritual, and sustainable healing. In this episode, we discuss: - Why the distress therapists and clients carry right now is collective, not only individual - What American mental health training misses when it locates suffering inside a bounded self - How belonging, narrative, ritual, and meaning function as healing - Why functioning is not the same as healing - Grounding in relationship as an alternative to purely individual nervous-system regulation - How small acts of agency protect against demoralization - Low-cost rituals therapists can use to keep moral exhaustion from following them home Timestamps: 01:44 - Who Suzan Song is and what she puts into the world 02:58 - How a medical anthropology lens changes clinical work 05:34 - When the self is collective, not bounded 09:18 - Collective suffering and the loss of agency 12:18 - Moral injury and disengagement in therapists 17:23 - Finding your own rituals as a therapist 24:07 - Grounding in relationship 28:13 - Why functioning is not healing Guest Bio: Suzan Song, MD, MPH, PhD is a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist and medical anthropologist, and a professor of psychiatry at George Washington University. She has spent more than two decades advising on mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) in humanitarian and conflict-affected settings, and is the author of Why We Suffer and How We Heal (Harmony / Penguin Random House, 2026).

Dr. Suzan Song—psychiatrist, anthropologist, and author of Why We Suffer and How We Heal—has spent decades studying survivors of war, trafficking, displacement, and personal loss to understand why some people flourish despite unimaginable adversity.

Listen. Most of you are operating in a state of biological bankruptcy. You've spent years mastering the art of compartmentalization. You've learned how to shut down your body, ignore the nausea in your gut, and "push through" the noise to hit your KPIs. You think that's strength. Here is the reality: that isn't resilience. It's just endurance. Endurance is what happens when you've decided to white-knuckle the steering wheel of a car that's already on fire. You aren't thriving; you're just not dead yet. But your nervous system keeps a ledger, and eventually, the debt comes due. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Suzanne Song—a Harvard and Stanford trained psychiatrist who has operated in actual conflict zones. She's seen the difference between people who are simply surviving and those who are actually anchored. She knows that a high-achiever who is disconnected from their own physiology is just a high-performance liability waiting for a crash. Here is the promise: We are moving past the "mindset" fluff. We are talking about the actual mechanics of how to stop the sympathetic hijack and rebuild your agency from the inside out. We dive deep into: The Endurance Trap: Why the skills that got you to the C-suite are the same ones currently melting your gears. Somatic Tells: How to identify the physical "glitches" in your body before they manifest as a boardroom meltdown. The Three Friends of Winter: Using narrative, ritual, and purpose to create a biological anchor in a chaotic environment. Editing the Story: Why your brain filters trauma to protect you, and how to stop repeating the same destructive patterns. Anchored Leadership: How to operate with zero friction by aligning your values with your physiological state. Stop trying to "optimize" a dysregulated system. It doesn't work. Pay attention to the mechanics, or prepare for the collapse. www.suzansong.com
Send us Fan MailShe couldn't make it through school PE without breaking out in hives, never saw adults “work out” where she grew up, and didn't run a single 5K until age 42, yet Suzan Brydon now stacks ultras like most of us stack errands. Our conversation traces the real turning points: rural southern Illinois roots, a lifetime of allergies and autoimmune challenges, and the moment her husband, in the middle of cancer treatment, calmly declared he'd run a half marathon. That kind of future-focused grit became the spark Suzan needed to try Couch to 5K and prove that “I'm not athletic” was just an old story. We get specific about what actually helped: structure, medical oversight, dietary changes, and the willingness to be uncomfortable without panicking. Suzan shares how community and fun kept her going, from her first Mo Cowbell half marathon to the pure joy of Disney races. Then the distances grow: marathons, 50Ks, 50 milers, and a bigger mission to run an ultra in all 50 states, with her husband now deep in the ultra world too. She also recaps Denali 135 in Alaska and what it's like to feel supported when your crew leapfrogs you mile after mile through stunning, isolated scenery. The heart of the episode is purpose-driven endurance. Suzan breaks down her Cigna community ambassador fellowship that powered a 2,000-mile American Discovery Trail run across the Midwest for Girls on the Run, including rural health research and constant community talks. We talk nutrition for ultrarunners, the reality of “trails” that include highways and bushwhacking, safety concerns like dogs, and why giving back publicly can become the mental edge that keeps you finishing. If you've ever wondered whether you could do something that sounds impossible, this will nudge you to get curious and take the first step.

The war in Iran, and the broader Middle East, is apparently over — at least according to US President Trump. A 14-point agreement between the US and Iran has been signed - in Versailles Palace, where the ill-fated agreement ending World War I was signed - largely giving Iran all it asked for. The world economy may eventually return to some semblance of normality as the Strait of Hormuz reopens, assuming it really does, but the region as a whole is far from at peace, and somewhat far from comprehending a deal that stablizes remarkably little. This is especially true to Lebanon: torn apart by its own sectarian violence and economic deterioration, it has become the core issue of dispute. For Iran, Hezbollah must remain intact and in control, with Iranian oversight of the whole country; for Israel, Hezbollah must be disarmed and removed from Lebanon's southern border.Neither Israel nor Lebanon are parties to the newly signed 14-point agreement, though both have now embarked upon some kind of talks sponsored by the US. That may not matter, as in the complex web of Lebanese politics, Hezbollah is more powerful than the government. However, it has been weakened dramatically by Israel, that is also pushing back on it while licking its wounds from what seems like a humiliating defeat.Suzan Haidamous, Beirut-based correspondent for the Washington Post, is the perfect person to make some sense of Lebanon's predicaments. In a great and wise conversation, she brings lived experience of Lebanon coupled with great insight and compassion.Chapters:Understanding Lebanon and Syria todayReporting from the ground: experiences in SyriaHezbollah's role and influence in LebanonThe future of Lebanon and regional dynamics with IranIs there still hope for peace in the Middle East?Mentions2024 beeper attack on Hezbollah2024 walkie talkie attack on HezbollahSusannah George - Washington post pageLiz Sly - Washington post pageUN Security Council resolution 1701UN News - Explainer: What is Security Council resolution 1701?Women Leaders - As missiles flySuzan Haidamous article “An airstrike trapped a journalist”FollowSuzan Haidamous Washington Post page LinkedInIlana Bet-ElInstagram @women_leaders_podcastListen to this episode on our YouTube channelOur partner European Leadership Network Twitter LinkedIn Facebook websiteCreditsProduction: Florence FerrandoMusic: Let Good Times Roll, RA from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/let-good-times-rollLicense code: ZXIIIJUU2ISPZIJTContribute to the conversation with a comment & a 5-⭐️Reach us on our Instagram and follow for updates @women_leaders_podcastWatch now our episode on Youtube Hosted on Acast.

NPO 1 en SBS 6 brengen twee nieuwe praatprogramma’s nu het WK voetbal in volle gang is. Waar de NPO kiest voor twee totaal nieuwe analisten, verzamelt SBS alle nepobaby’s bij elkaar in één café. „Het Oranje Café? Ze hadden het beter Nepobaby Inside kunnen noemen”, merkt het panel op in een nieuwe aflevering van de AD Media Podcast. Het doek viel afgelopen week voor RTL Tonight. Dat einde betekent ook een nieuw begin, want Welmoed Sijtsma stapt over naar RTL om de vaste vervanger van Renze Klamer te worden. Wim T. Schippers is overleden en natuurlijk wordt er even bij zijn roemruchtige carrière stilgestaan. „Er is geen tweede Wim T. Schippers”, zegt Angela de Jong. De kunstenaar zit in het collectief geheugen van veel generaties. Als het niet is voor zijn iconische VPRO-programma’s, dan is het wel vanwege de markante stem van Ernie. De documentaire van Suzan & Freek komt ook voorbij en de ‘hypocriete’ samenwerking van de NPO met Disney+. Paul Römer moet van Angela de Jong op het strafbankje bij NPO Radio 1 na het schaamteloos pluggen van een voorstelling van zijn veroordeelde neef Thijs Römer. Daarnaast wordt de hoge zuurgraad bij de NOS-analisten rond het duel van Oranje besproken. De combinatie Pierre van Hooijdonk, Wim Kieft en Rafael van der Vaart kan simpelweg niet, is het oordeel. Angela zet een bijzonder interview met de vader van Jade Kops in haar etalage. Luisteren dus! Naar de wekelijkse AD Media Podcast, waarin columnist Angela de Jong en verslaggever Mark den Blanken alle hoofd-, rand-, en bijzaken bespreken op het gebied van media.

What if suffering is not a detour from life, but one of the places where meaning begins? In this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, Bill Sherman speaks with Dr. Suzan Song, MD, PhD, about instability, agency, and the human search for groundedness when life breaks open. Her work spans clinical care, global systems, conflict zones, and executive leadership. Her core question is simple and urgent: how do people move through suffering without losing themselves? Dr. Song shares the deeply personal origin of her work. After losing her father to violence as a teenager, she pushed forward through achievement, education, and service. Years later, while working with former child soldiers in Burundi, she found herself in danger and saw the connection between her past and her work. That moment helped her understand the deeper spark behind her mission. Her book, Why We Suffer, grew out of that mission. It is not a promise that life can be made painless. It is a practical look at how people can navigate hardship through narrative, ritual, purpose, connection, and agency. Dr. Song challenges the idea that healing is only individual. Across cultures, she has seen that people heal in relationship. The conversation also explores how instability shows up in leadership. CEOs, executive directors, governments, and communities are all facing rapid change. Funding shifts. Policy changes. War. Burnout. Cognitive fatigue. Dr. Song argues that the antidote to despair is not happiness. It is agency. Bill and Dr. Song discuss how thought leadership can be rooted in service, not ego. For Dr. Song, the work is not about claiming a label. It is about making ideas useful. It is about helping people, organizations, and systems respond to suffering with clarity, humility, and care. This episode is a powerful conversation for leaders, authors, speakers, consultants, and anyone trying to turn hard-earned experience into work that helps others. It asks us to look honestly at suffering. Then it asks an even more important question: what can we do with it? Three Key Takeaways: • Agency is the antidote to despair. When people face instability, the goal is not to force happiness. It is to find small, meaningful actions that restore a sense of control. • Suffering is both personal and collective. Hardship affects individuals, organizations, and communities. Healing often happens through connection, belonging, and shared support. • Resilience is more than pushing through. Real resilience comes from narrative, ritual, purpose, and relationships that help people make meaning and stay grounded during uncertainty. If this episode helped you think differently about instability and agency, listen to Episode 107 with David Komlos. That conversation explores how leaders tackle truly complex problems. You'll learn how to bring the right people and perspectives together, make better decisions, and move forward when there are no simple answers. It's a strong companion episode for anyone leading through uncertainty.

So many parents feel like they're failing — not because something is truly wrong, but because life feels messy, rushed, and uncertain. In this episode of the Mindful Mama Podcast, Hunter Clarke-Fields speaks with Suzan Song, psychiatrist, global mental health expert, and author of Why We Suffer and How We Heal, about what children actually need to feel safe, connected, and resilient — even when life is imperfect. Drawing from decades of work with forcibly displaced children and families in war zones and refugee camps, Suzan offers a powerful reframe for modern parenting. She explains why perfection isn't just impossible — it's unnecessary — and how children across cultures and crises consistently thrive through predictability, emotional regulation, dignity, and connection. This conversation gently dismantles parental guilt and unrealistic expectations, while offering reassurance grounded in both science and lived experience. Whether you're navigating everyday stress or deeper uncertainty, this episode reminds you that steadiness matters more than perfection — and connection matters more than control. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why parents often feel like they're failing even when nothing is “wrong" What children truly need to feel safe across cultures and crises How perfectionism disconnects parents from themselves and their kids Why emotional regulation in parents supports resilience in children Lessons from refugee families that apply to everyday parentin How meaning, ritual, and narrative help families navigate uncertainty Why community support is essential — and often missing — for parents What kids need to see when parents are stressed or struggling How to cultivate steadiness when life feels unpredictable A small shift parents can try this week to feel more grounded ABOUT HUNTER CLARKE-FIELDS: Hunter Clarke-Fields is the host Mindful Parenting Podcast (Top 0.5% podcast ), global speaker, number 1 bestselling author of “Raising Good Humans” and “Raising Good Humans Every Day,” Mindfulness Meditation teacher and creator of the Mindful Parenting Course and Teacher Training.

What if the problem isn't that we're weak, but that we were never taught how to suffer well? 1 in 5 adults live with a mental health condition. Anxiety and depression have doubled in young people. And despite more tools than ever, burnout and loneliness continue to rise. In this episode of Uncover Your Eyes, Dr. Meenal Agarwal sits down with Dr. Suzan Song, psychiatrist, global humanitarian, and author of Why We Suffer and How We Heal, to unpack the science and psychology behind suffering, trauma, and true healing. In this episode you'll uncover:
The number one question people ask about life is simple: “Why am I here?” And honestly, who better to ask than the One who made us? But that leads to another question—how do we actually hear back from God? If someone asked you, “How do you hear the voice of God?” what would you say? What real examples would you give—times He guided you, comforted you, or kept you from making a bad decision? In this series, Suzan and I are going to share stories from our own walk with God to help you better recognize His voice in your life—and give you the language and confidence to help others do the same.
Send us Fan MailWrinkles, sagging, and pigment are easy targets because we can see them, measure them, and sell treatments for them. But I keep coming back to a more uncomfortable question: are we actually treating aging, or are we only managing the appearance of aging? In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Suzan Obagi, a leader in cosmetic dermatology and cosmetic surgery and Associate Professor in Dermatology and Plastic Surgery from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and former President of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, to follow the smoke back to the fire and talk about what really drives skin aging and recovery.We break down intrinsic aging versus extrinsic aging and why epigenetics, inflammation, and oxidative stress matter as much as lasers and injectables. Dr. Obagi explains what collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans do, why their production peaks early, and why menopause can accelerate collagen decline. We also get honest about hormone replacement therapy: how estrogen affects skin, mood, joints, vessels, brain health, and wound healing, where risks truly live, and why many women are still mismanaged with symptom-only fixes. If you care about healthspan, longevity, menopause skin changes, and better surgical outcomes, this part will shift your perspective.Then we turn practical. You'll hear the simplest high-yield skincare routine we both rely on: cleansing, well-formulated antioxidants morning and night, moisturizers that support barrier function, mineral sunscreen, and retinoids with realistic timelines for results. We also unpack why some medspa “annual” treatment advice keeps people on a treadmill, and we look ahead at where anti-aging medicine may go next, from rapamycin analogs to NMN to the promise and complexity of Yamanaka factors.If this made you rethink your approach to anti-aging skin care, hormone health, or aesthetic medicine, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.Dr. Suzan Obagi links:Instagram: @suzanobagimdWebsite:http://dermatology.pitt.edu/people/suzan-obagi-mdTweet me @realdrhamrahIG @drhamrah

If you keep repeating the same patterns, it's probably more than a willpower issue. Psychiatrist Suzan Song says we get often stuck in narratives formed by our family, culture and life experience. These patterns can show up in our relationships and how we see ourselves. We explore why it's so hard to break these emotional cycles and how we can rewrite our narratives by defining what we really want out of life.

The number one question people ask about life is simple: “Why am I here?” And honestly, who better to ask than the One who made us? But that leads to another question—how do we actually hear back from God? If someone asked you, “How do you hear the voice of God?” what would you say? What real examples would you give—times He guided you, comforted you, or kept you from making a bad decision? In this series, Suzan and I are going to share stories from our own walk with God to help you better recognize His voice in your life—and give you the language and confidence to help others do the same.

You may know people who are seemingly unflappable. Steadfast. As if they've somehow been inoculated with antibodies to render them able to survive, strive, and even thrive through major life stressors and transitions. What's different about these people? Are they born with resilient genes, or does culture play a role? Do they have certain outlooks or behaviors that make them able to manage life with grace and confidence?If so, are these skills that everyone can learn?Today's guest, Stanford and Harvard trained psychiatrist, medical anthropologist, and humanitarian adviser, Dr. Suzan Song,has been exploring these questions for decades. Working with people facing everything from everyday instability to profound human rights violations,She's witnessed first-hand the limits of routine Western approaches to adversity. And now, in her highly anticipated debut book, Why We Suffer and How We Heal, Suzan shows us that resilience isn't inherited or taught in isolation—it emerges from the stories we tell, the rituals we keep, and the connections we depend on. In today's conversation we'll unpack some of Dr. Song's hard-earned wisdom, Her insights about what helps most to weather life's storms, And the groundbreaking path she's uncovered that can lead to deep healing, thriving in spite of challenges, and feeling fully alive again. Perhaps most importantly though, she reminds us that this path Is open to us all.For more on Dr. Song's extraordinary work, speaking, and her new book (which if you enjoy this conversation I can't recommend highly enough) please visit Suzansong.comEnjoying the show?

In this powerful and deeply thoughtful episode, I sit down with Dr. Suzan Song, a psychiatrist, researcher, and humanitarian policy advisor whose work sits at the intersection of trauma, resilience, and human potential. This conversation goes beyond surface level discussions of mental health and dives into the real reasons we struggle, how suffering shapes us, and what it actually takes to heal. Dr. Song shares how moments of instability, pain, and personal setback can become catalysts for growth when we learn how to work with them instead of running from them. Drawing from her work with trauma survivors, high achievers, foster youth, and individuals impacted by global human rights violations, she explains how early life experiences influence adult behavior, relationships, and our sense of purpose. We explore how the stories we tell ourselves shape our reality, why shame often keeps people stuck, and how intentional rituals and stability can help rewire the nervous system. Dr. Song also opens up about her own personal trauma and how that journey led her to a life of service, research, and advocacy. This episode is an honest look at suffering, resilience, and the tools that help people move from survival into true healing. This conversation is especially meaningful for anyone navigating trauma, striving for success while feeling internally disconnected, or searching for deeper meaning and emotional stability in their life. In This Episode, You Will Learn: Why suffering is a universal human experience and how it can lead to growth How childhood trauma and attachment patterns impact adult behavior Why high achievers often develop unhealthy coping mechanisms The role of narrative in healing and reshaping identity How shame creates isolation and blocks emotional healing Why rituals and stability are essential for trauma recovery How memory works in the brain and its connection to trauma Practical tools for building stability, resilience, and purpose How personal trauma shaped Dr. Song's mission and work If you have ever wondered why some experiences stay with us long after they are over, or how to move forward without ignoring the pain of the past, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and actionable insight. Dr. Suzanne Song brings a rare combination of clinical expertise and lived experience that makes this conversation both practical and deeply human.
It's said, pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. But, is that true? Many of us live our lives in pursuit of certainty, believing that if we could just get things more stable - emotionally, financially, relationally - then we'd finally feel at ease. We wouldn't struggle with anxiety, stress, and fear. we wouldn't suffer so much. Problem is, that approach often deepens our suffering, rather than relieves it. Maybe you've felt this very thing.In this powerful episode on healing and resilience and how to relieve suffering, Jonathan sits down with Dr. Suzan Song, a Harvard- and Stanford-trained psychiatrist and humanitarian researcher. Dr. Song has spent decades working with individuals and communities living through profound instability, revealing a gentler, more honest reframe: healing, lessening suffering, doesn't come from chasing certainty and stability, but from learning how to relate differently to the inevitability of pain, uncertainty, and change.In this conversation, discover:Why pain is inevitable, but suffering often grows from the stories we tell.The hidden role of our nervous system and memory in shaping our experience of hardship.The power of ritual—not as performance, but as a path to emotional grounding and resilience.What purpose really is, and why it's often already present, woven into our lives through mattering.How genuine healing happens in relationship, not in isolation, transforming our approach to mental health.This is an invitation to stop blaming yourself for not feeling satisfied, let go of suffering, and remember that you don't have to navigate life's instabilities alone. Sometimes, relief comes not from doing more, but from allowing yourself to feel everything, then learn how to live with the truth of uncertainty in a world that will never stop changing.You can find Suzan at: Website | Linkedin | Episode TranscriptIf you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversations we had with Adam Grant about rethinking beliefs and inner patterns.Check out our offerings & partners: Join My New Writing Project: Awake at the WheelVisit Our Sponsor Page For Great Resources & Discount Codes Hosted on Acast.

On the morning of January 15, 1947, a woman walking with her young daughter spotted something pale and white lying in the weeds of a vacant lot. When the woman walked closer to get a better look, she made a horrifying discovery: the bisected body of a young woman, brutally murdered and like trash in the abandoned overgrown lot. The woman in the lot would soon be identified as twenty-two-year-old aspiring actress Elizabeth Short, who the press nicknamed “The Black Dahlia.” Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1947.

On January 12, 1983, the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department received a call from a frantic driver who reported they'd just witnessed a shooting on the side of the side of the road in Fulton, California and the shooters had fled the scene a pickup truck. Deputies quickly located the truck and were led on a forty-five minute high-speed chase through Sonoma and Napa counties before finally being apprehended and identified as Michael and Suzan Carson.The Carsons were held on a charge of murdering the truck's original owner, Jon Charles Hellyar, but they refused to say a word to police. In time, however, Michael and Suzan Carson began to talk and eventually held a press conference during which they revealed a great deal about themselves and even went so far as to make ambiguous confessions to other recent murders in Northern California. In the months that followed their arrest, Michael and Suzan Carson reveled in their notoriety and the media attention their statements captured. In addition to the murder of Hellyar, they would also be convicted of two other murders, claiming themselves to be Muslim warriors on a mission to rid the world of witches and other practitioners of dark magic, earning them the nickname “The San Francisco Witch Killers.”Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1983.

In the early 1980s, Suzan and Michael Carson were very worried about witches. They thought there witches all over America, even the President, Ronald Regan, was a witch. And sometimes, in order to defend themselves from the dark magic of witches, they had to kill them. They had to! It was self-defense. This is what they and there defense attorney would actually claim, in court, when they were finally caught and charged with multiple murders. Did I mention that Suzan and Michael were completely out of their minds and regularly taking hallucinogens? They were. Been saving this one for the week of Halloween. Enjoy!
