According to Dr. Paul Conti, this is exactly how society should conceptualize trauma: as an out-of-control epidemic with a potentially fatal prognosis.In Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti examines the most recent research, clinical best practices, and dozens of real-life stories to present a deeper and more urgent view of trauma. Not only does Dr. Conti explain how trauma affects the body and mind, he also demonstrates that trauma is transmissible among close family and friends, as well as across generations and within vast demographic groups.With all this in mind, Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic proposes a course of treatment for the seemingly untreatable. Here, Dr. Conti traces a step-by-step series of concrete changes that we can make both as individuals and as a society to alleviate trauma's effects and prevent further traumatization in the future.You will discover:• The different post-trauma syndromes, how they are classified, and their common symptoms• An examination of how for-profit health care systems can inhibit diagnosis and treatment of trauma• How social crises and political turmoil encourage the spread of group trauma• Methods for confronting and managing your fears as they arise in the moment• How trauma disrupts mental processes such as memory, emotional regulation, and logical decision-making• The argument for a renewed humanist social commitment to mental health and wellnessIt's only when we understand how a disease spreads and is sustained that we are able to create its ultimate cure. With Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti reveals that what we once considered a lifelong, unbeatable mental illness is both treatable and preventable.

Paul Conti is a psychiatrist, a trauma expert, the former Chief Resident at Harvard, and the author of "Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic." During our conversation, Paul talks about the precise definition of trauma: something that overwhelms one's coping mechanisms and changes the brain, his own personal experience with trauma, the state of mental healthcare in America, how we know one has experienced trauma, how trauma often leads to hidden shame that prevents healing, what trauma is not, how he has stepped outside of mainstream healthcare practices to help his patients, and suggestions for mitigating the negative effects and suffering caused by trauma.Paul is extraordinarily open and informed about the subject of trauma. It is his view that having a holistic approach to treatment and taking the time necessary to establish rapport with patients is key in understanding and addressing the root-cause of his patients' ailments. This was one of my favorite conversations in a long time, and it ends on a note of hope: by providing some tools that are already available for those in need and noting tools that may come in the near future to help human beings become well.------------Support via VenmoSupport on SubstackSupport on Patreon------------Show notesRate on SpotifyRate on Apple PodcastsSocial media and all episodes------------(00:00) Intro02:26 Defining trauma07:29 How do we know someone has experienced trauma?11:06 Paul's personal experience with trauma.17:49 Quote about addressing symptoms in medicine system.18:13 How Paul knew he needed help addressing his own trauma.26:32 What isn't trauma?28:56 Scientific evidence of trauma.30:39 What commonly causes trauma?34:13 The relationship of trauma and shame.40:16 Hope for addressing trauma in modernity, particularly for men.46:56 Failing to seek help due to social conditioning.52:00 Paul working outside the medical system and creating rapport with patients.01:00::08 Tactics for overcoming trauma and suffering01:06:31 Where we are in our understanding of the mind and brain01:11:29 MDMA therapy and what Paul is hopeful about in the future

A self-proclaimed “accidental author”, Carole Holiday was living a very full life as a wife, mother, and nana, until one day, everything fell apart. Her marriage to her childhood sweetheart of over 35 years ended, followed by losing her job and ultimately filing for bankruptcy. Then she developed heart issues because of all the stress, and a continued windfall of loss, and grief in losing close loved ones, until it felt like there was absolutely nothing recognizable about the life she had known. In her book I Don't Know Who I Am Anymore, Carole shares her story, but it is such a unique book that weaves honest reflections, practical applications of how to minister to those in grief, beautiful applications from scripture, and recipes to share with others or to comfort your own heart. She asks powerful questions about what we build our lives on, and find our identity in. These can be good things like relationships, careers, and even our health, but they are ultimately temporal. Christ alone is the cornerstone that can keep a life on a firm foundation. This is an episode for my friends who are asking God, “What do I do now?” when a dream has died. This is an episode for my single friends, my divorced friends, and my widowed friends who may feel unseen in their communities. This is an episode for those who have known any amount of grief or loss and need to know they are not going to disappear or drown in this season. There is hope for you, we can testify to it. As long as you're breathing, there is more for your story. You matter and your story matters. Connecting with Carole: Book Facebook Instagram Website Please consider joining our Patreon community.

This is episode 3 of a 4-part special series on mental health with Dr. Paul Conti, M.D., a psychiatrist who did his medical training at Stanford School of Medicine and residency at Harvard Medical School. He is the author of the book, “Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic.” Dr. Conti explains how to find, develop and strengthen healthy relationships — including romantic relationships, work and colleague relationships, and friendships. He explains a roadmap of the conscious and unconscious mind that can allow anyone to navigate conflicts better and set healthy boundaries in relationships. We also discuss common features of unhealthy relationships and clinically supported tools for dealing with relationship insecurity, excessive anxiety, past traumas, manipulation and abuse. Dr. Conti explains how, in healthy relationships, there emerges a dynamic of the mutually generative “us” and how to continually improve that dynamic. The next episode in this special series explores true self-care, which can be cultivated through a process of building self-awareness along with other important practices.

In this episode, Dr. Michael Maddaus has an insightful, don't-miss conversation with Dr. Paul Conti, a psychiatrist and expert in trauma. Dr. Conti discusses psychological trauma: what it is and its far-reaching, profound effects on the mind and body. Listeners will learn that trauma changes the functioning of the brain and alters the lens in which we see ourselves and the world around us. Trauma also spreads like a virus and affects people in our orbit, including our loved ones and colleagues. But there are major challenges in untangling complex problems and recognizing trauma. Dr. Conti talks about shame as the biggest obstacle to healing from trauma and offers solutions for how—as a society—we can start to change the stigma of mental health and allow more people to ask for and receive help. Importantly, Dr. Conti shares his deeply moving personal experiences with trauma. So set aside any preconceived notions you have about trauma and give this episode a listen. “The Resilient Surgeon” is a program from the Society designed to inspire cardiothoracic surgeons to be their best selves, in and out of the OR, using scientifically proven tools and recovery strategies of the world's top performers.

According to Dr. Paul Conti, this is exactly how society should conceptualize trauma: as an out-of-control epidemic with a potentially fatal prognosis.In Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti examines the most recent research, clinical best practices, and dozens of real-life stories to present a deeper and more urgent view of trauma. Not only does Dr. Conti explain how trauma affects the body and mind, he also demonstrates that trauma is transmissible among close family and friends, as well as across generations and within vast demographic groups.With all this in mind, Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic proposes a course of treatment for the seemingly untreatable. Here, Dr. Conti traces a step-by-step series of concrete changes that we can make both as individuals and as a society to alleviate trauma's effects and prevent further traumatization in the future.You will discover:• The different post-trauma syndromes, how they are classified, and their common symptoms• An examination of how for-profit health care systems can inhibit diagnosis and treatment of trauma• How social crises and political turmoil encourage the spread of group trauma• Methods for confronting and managing your fears as they arise in the moment• How trauma disrupts mental processes such as memory, emotional regulation, and logical decision-making• The argument for a renewed humanist social commitment to mental health and wellnessIt's only when we understand how a disease spreads and is sustained that we are able to create its ultimate cure. With Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti reveals that what we once considered a lifelong, unbeatable mental illness is both treatable and preventable.

Trauma in our lives has lasting effects both in terms of our mental and physical wellbeing. Trauma, and its running partner, shame, affect our metabolism, our immune function, and even our gene expression. Further, trauma accelerates multiple markers of aging. On the podcast today, I have the opportunity to spend time with Paul Conti, MD, author of the new book, Trauma, the Invisible Epidemic, with a foreword by Lady Gaga. It's a powerful look behind the curtain at the role of trauma in our lives, and fortunately, it provides helpful tools, for all of us, to deal with its lingering effects. The book explores trauma both through the lens of Dr. Conti as a professional as well as what has transpired in his own life that led him to explore the importance of this issue. I am certain this program will offer benefit and hope to many. ==== TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 3:10 Getting to the Root Causes 15:20 Passing on Trauma to Others 27:30 Empowerment & Agency 32:30 the Limbic System 36:20 Trauma in the World Today 42:09 Urgency to Heal 48:56 Conclusion ==== Paul Conti, MD, is a graduate of Stanford University School of Medicine.

Before moving to Portland, Oregon and founding a clinic, he served on the Harvard medical faculty.He serves patients and clients throughout the United States and internationally, including the Executive Leadership of Large Corporations. Dr. Conti specializes in health and performance optimization as well as complex assessment and problem-solving. His most recent book is “Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic.”In this episode, Dr. Paul Conti explains his journey through the unknowns, trauma and tragedy of his life and career while still being grounded to his principles. He delves into the topic of his most recent book, talking about how his brother committed suicide and how he processes that trauma and the feelings of shame. The topic also touches on overall trauma, how no one has control over whether or not they have it, how many people don't realize they have trauma, and how to rethink your thoughts and internal dialogue so that you can combat it. Dr. Conti goes over other real-life, everyday examples of trauma, such as having a different gender identity and expression than what is acceptable by society at large. He mentions how trauma changes the brain, turning it into a place of higher vigilance. Dr. Conti also talks about how trauma affects everyday life without people realizing it. Trauma can change sleep, stress levels, mood, anxiety levels and behavioral choices. However, the episode doesn't solely focus on the bad of trauma but also on how someone can be transformed in the healing process by seeking treatment for it. Medicines can help treat trauma over time by increasing sleep, improving mood and decreasing anxiety. Besides medicine, talking and exploring how the traumatic situation made you feel in support groups, with friends or family, or with a counselor also can help.“Empowerment is the enemy of trauma,” Dr. Conti says and explores in this episode. He talks about how trauma tries to tell people that their cupboards are bare and there is nothing left, even when that is not true, and how that affects the overall body.To learn more, watch this episode and read his book.
