Summary

Dr. Paul Conti is a graduate of Stanford University School of Medicine. He completed his training at Stanford and Harvard, where he served as Chief Resident. He then served on the medical faculty at Harvard before moving to Portland, Oregon, and founding the Pacific Premiere Group—a clinical practice helping people heal and grow from trauma and other life challenges. Dr. Conti is also the author of Trauma, the Invisible Epidemic: How Trauma Works and How We Can Heal From It, which I feel strongly is required reading for everyone, particularly those of you looking to not only heal from your own trauma, and for anyone desiring to break cycles of generational trauma. This conversation is truly a master class on all things trauma. Dr. Conti begins by defining trauma, and explaining what trauma is and isn’t. We then look at the many ways in which unresolved trauma perniciously manifests in our lives, discuss the various ways in which the medical establishment fails us with respect to mental health, and explore a vision for how to improve it. And we close with tools available to effectively process, heal, and even prevent trauma from negatively impacting our lives and the lives of our loved ones. Watch: YouTube. Read: Show notes.

0:38.6	You don't have to be afraid of what's inside of you, and we often get very afraid of
0:44.7	what's inside of us, especially after trauma when the trauma itself makes fear and can make
0:51.7	shame.
0:52.7	trauma is something that leaves the brain different going forward.
0:56.4	And nowhere is it written that like, oh, that only happens if you're in a terrible accident
1:02.1	or if a loved one dies or if someone assaults you, right?
1:06.7	Those brain changes can happen in other situations as well.
1:11.9	If we keep it inside of us, it is very, very toxic because we are doing literally the exact
1:17.5	opposite of what we need to do in order to heal.
1:21.8	If we honor and validate that that's in us, but also recognize that it's not actually true
1:26.8	that confronting the thing that makes shame or fear is going to make us fall apart.
1:30.6	And in fact, quite the opposite.
1:32.0	I mean, there's so much data and clinical experience telling us the exact opposite that we don't
1:37.6	have to be afraid of it, and we don't have to rush headlong that we can be careful and
1:41.8	judicious.
