We are all human and some of us may be tougher than others or trained to be tougher in certain ways, but we're still human, right?

We still have the same needs and, you know, we may deal with them differently or whatever the case may be, but they do exist, right?

And that's the hardest part when people are trained in toughness and identify that way.

Often what that translates to is denial of one's

own needs, which is different, right? If we still have needs and we address them, you know,

we can have both things at once, right? We can be tough and perseverant and resilient and all that

and still acknowledge the needs inside of us, you know, without feeling a shame that they're there

because they're just human.

And today, I don't know if it's safe to say this is my favorite topic, but I think it's one of the most important topics of the modern era.

And that is mental health.

I worry about people who suffer in silence because I believe that we are more similar than we are different. And if you get to a place where you think that you're alone and nobody might understand what you're going through, can lead you down a very dangerous path. My guest today to help navigate this topic is Dr. Paul Conti,

and you've probably heard of his name because he's been on some massive platforms recently.

He is a psychiatrist PhD from Stanford University School of Medicine and is the former chief resident at the Harvard Medical School. He is the author of the best-selling book Trauma,

The Invisible Epidemic, which seeks to

understand how trauma works and how we can heal from it.
