Summary
On today's episode, Dennis talks with Doctor of Psychology and Author, Dr. David Bonanno
David started as a traumatized kid with no answers, and even after twenty-six years of therapy, seventeen different psychiatric medications, and even earning a doctorate in psychology, he still didn't get a cure for his condition.
By working with thousands of traumatized people (they're everywhere, at every age), he finally figured out how traumatized brain and body re-adaptation works! This led him to create a treatment method that can help patients in ways that traditional psychology can't.
David has dealt with so much pain, suffering, and loss in my life that now he made it my life's mission to help others regain their lives.
Today Dennis and Dr. Bonanno discuss his career, how he navigated through his life of trauma, the realization that he had PTSD, how the human mind works, why we get in our own way when trying to better ourselves, relationships and how the human mind ticks.

But I, so yeah, I had a crazy mother, my dad died when I was a kid, and then I was depressed for like 20 years, and then I became a psychologist to figure out what the hell is wrong with me, and I didn't really get the answers.
