Paul Conti, a returning guest on The Drive, is a practicing psychiatrist and recent author of Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic: How Trauma Works and How We Can Heal From It, in which he offers valuable insights on healing from trauma. In this episode, Paul explains how his personal experience with trauma and his many years seeing patients have shaped his understanding of trauma’s impact on the brain, its common patterns and manifestations, and how often people don't recognize the implications of trauma in their own life. He discusses major challenges in recognizing trauma, including the lack of biomarkers in psychiatry and psychology, as well as the misguidance of the mental health system in targeting symptoms as opposed to root problems. He talks about shame as the biggest impediment to healing from trauma and offers solutions to how, as a society, we can start to change the stigma of mental health and allow more people to receive help. Finally, he concludes with a discussion about the potential role of psychedelics like psilocybin and MDMA in treating trauma.
We discuss:
00:00:00 - Intro
00:00:10 - Paul’s background and unique path to psychiatry
00:03:29 - A personal tragedy that shaped Paul’s understanding of trauma and resulting feelings of shame and guilt
00:19:42 - The current state of psychiatry training and need for improvement
00:28:27 - The over-reliance on outdated metrics and lack of attention to past trauma as an impediment to patient care
00:34:48 - Defining trauma: various types, heterogeneity, and effects on the brain
00:47:55 - Importance of finding the roots of trauma and understanding the “why”
00:56:49 - The major challenge of recognizing trauma in patients
01:08:13 - How shame and guilt are barriers to treatment and healing
01:14:18 - How treating trauma compares to treating an abscess-a powerful analogy
01:18:08 - How evolutionary survival instincts create problems in modern society
01:22:00 - First step toward healing: overcoming the fear of talking about past trauma
01:28:35 - Shame: the biggest impediment to healing
01:37:57 - The antidote to shame and the need for discourse and understanding
01:45:30 - The emotional health component of healthspan

02:04:08 - The growing impact of trauma on our society and the need for compassion
02:10:06 - Society’s antiquated way of treating manifestations of trauma rather than root issues
02:17:29 - Potential role of psychedelics like psilocybin and MDMA in treating trauma
02:22:50 - Parting thoughts and resources for getting help

Tl;dr Acknowledging the harm our ”mental health” system causes is powerful. Thank you. This amazing interview struck a chord with me. 1st law school seemed like the best way to help. That system was so flawed it made attempts at change seem futile. Thought I could use a degree in psychology and computer science to fight from the bottom up by starting with healing the individual. I'd use machine learning to clearly define the problem, and maybe solutions that met the needs of clients, practitioners, and insurance companies, etc. Nope. It was inspiring to hear someone say ”being exposed to the mental health system leaves them worse off (paraphrased)” - this is the first time I've heard a respected practitioner who attended the 'right' schools acknowledge this. When I realized it's impossible to help people while following this systems rules or making a living, back to school I headed. Public Health is where I've currently landed. Thank you, thank you, thank you both, and everyone who helps make this podcast possible. I'm looking forward to exploring Dr. Conti's work and more episodes of this show.

I can't wait to pick it up and read it. His comments are so wise and really a wonderful and compassionate perspective on the human paradigm right now. If my father had had him as a psychiatrist, he might still be alive today; I talk all of this very seriously. Grateful!

Pete Walker mentioned in his work that if we truly embraced healing trauma the DSM would be reduced down to a pamphlet sized book because the human experience isn't embraced and healed. PTSD/CPTSD are both trauma responses that get labelled other things.

It’s conversations like this one that when heard by a person who is open to living a better life, begins to unlock the proverbial door of shame. Good mental health should be taught in primary education to kindergartners bc many times families do not know how to properly communicate with and help the ones they love.

That's an extremely interesting analogy. What trauma seeds embedded in your soil to make it grow? Reminds me of a dream I had when I finally escaped my family's house. I dreamed that I was a tree that was dying because there was a dead cat in the roots of my tree. From that dream, I knew that I had to get the dead, decaying cat out from under my roots. That analogy actually makes a lot of sense to me.

My understanding is roughly: Shame binds all your energy. You freeze. A lot of trauma arises in the face of objective powerlessness and shame is efficient at freezing people as a survival mechanism if fight and flight fail.

Fabulous talk. I actually had the appendix abscess in the right gutter that was impressively large, so it was an appropriate metaphor. Occasional pain from the resulting adhesions still reminds me I’m alive - not septic - grateful for skilled doctors! The tugging pain is a reminder to live every day and move stealthily through trauma and to examine it & make friends with it. Keep these wonderful podcasts going, Peter. After the last two years of societal division, all of us collectively have a bit more trauma to process. 😉

I was molested by my much older cousin's beginning sometime before kindergarten until 2nd grade. Tried to tell my mother but she told me I was disgusting for saying such a thing, so gross why would a pretty little girl talk like that? When I was 12 my forty something year old brother in law manipulated me into a sexual "relationship" shortly before my 13th birthday. I can recall learning that he was only using me the week before my birthday. I tried to kill myself shortly afterwards and ended up in a hospital for a month and a half. Four years later I got pregnant with my boyfriend at the time, and had an abortion. Three years later we got married and pregnant again. About six months later I had a seizure due to an undiagnosed AVM. Which then required multiple brain surgeries and about two years of pt... shortly after my first surgery I learned that my husband used pornography and had lied about it all along, which is particularly disturbing for me because my abusers used porn and to me pornography is abuse. Anyway I stuffed it all down and kept plowing ahead... finished nursing school, had three more children, moved up in my career into management... about 10 years after my first surgery I had knee surgery for bone spurs and ended up with septic arthritis and needing a pic line for antibiotics. Then my father got critically ill and we moved him into our home to care for him for the following 12 years. Almost immediately after my father passed away I had another seizure only to learn that 19 years after the first, that I had an additional venous malformation which was devastating and terrifying. About a week later I learned my husband had been unfaithful all along. Now at 45 I am forced to finally face all this... I can no longer run away. Unfortunately I am just exhausted.😪

Every family should sit down and watch this and have a Q&A and talk to their children I’ve suffered every kind of trauma. There is throughout my 55 years and no one seems to realize especially parents and those blinded by our godless culture and society is that trauma can be as small as leaving your baby in the crib while he or she is crying that’s trauma all they know in the world is your touch your smell your feel Your breast, their mothers milk when that’s not there it’s trauma there traumatized This man speaks volumes, coming from the same background, the same town, and as I said, experiencing so many traumas in so many ways, listening to him, and luckily, I am somewhat insightful as well. I know what I’ve been through and I know who I am, and what I do, despite my inability to make all the positive changes need to make in my life for my children, who are taken from me Illegally how traumatizing is that? In any event, everyone should listen to this man to gain insight into yourselves to help you deal with the struggles and the perils of life Of course, trusting in God, even when it’s so hard, sometimes to understand why we suffer the way we do on this earth

I think this is a great topic for debate. I do agree that trauma is the root of most mental illnesses. But I also believe, that trauma is innate and inherent in human system. There's a sense of victimization that's conveyed in this conversation that doesn't feel right. You can't remove suffering from the human experience. There is a balance between empathy, and reality that just seems lost in Paul's POV.

People who commit suicide are people who dont get emotional support. Believe me that each part of cells in our body try to survive, so it is actually take a lot of thoughts before doing it and actually doing it. Emotional support is essensial. Also, never put any shame to your kids. Let's all own shame people put on us and you dont have to feel guilty when people put shame on you. You do you, take many time as much as you like. doesnt care if it takes years. But keep getting better tho it's only less then 1% per day. We gotta live until 95 y.o. We can survive and our body are designed to do so.

10:32 this is kind of a general comment about society, not a damnation of the speaker, but don’t we see? This is how the hierarchy works. Success comes from this transient lack of empathy due to a desire to rise above everyone else, instead of connecting with everyone else in an open, honest, caring way. 45:00 We cry watching the news because this is what successful politicians, generals, arms manufacturers, and “patriots” do to their victims: the supply of human targets known as “the others.” These “others” are what gives the malignant something to work on, and the beneficent someone to work with. Nearly every mind can be healed. The minds of those who act upon others, and also those who are acted upon. Problem is when you meet a new behavioral health provider, you don’t know if they’re malignant or beneficent during the fraction of an appointment when they see you.

Never talked about is people who feel shame and guilt and trauma due to their *own* bad actions. We are living in a victim culture. Who is even left to be blamed when everyone is a victim? None of the people who ever did me wrong lost a minute of sleep over it. Most of them did do a lot of self talk about how it wasn't really their fault because they have an "excuse" which is the next major thread in our culture, you're inevitable victim-hood then excuses your own bad behavior. What is empowering and what is crippling? When are excuses helpful and when are they misused and abused? Another thing not talked about here is that non-objective diagnoses can easily destroy lives and it happens all the time and pinning someone with the stigma of a mental health problem is a burden and a barrier to care within the medical system. As soon as your new cardiologist sees you carry a diagnosis of trauma, believe me, it will change how they deal with you. You may think you are a victim and will get pity from the world but you're waving a red flag to everyone. Not fair, not reasonable. But, I"m just sayin' . . .

Skilled trauma therapists will try hard to help clients stay out of an inpatient setting unless absolutely necessary. But not every therapist is skilled at treating trauma disorders, and they may work for programs that have rigid rules. Or they fear being sued. Or all three. Do not expect a hospital to do much more than prevent you from committing suicide while you are there. That is about it.

The aspect they kept circling around, but, (in my humble opinion) never fully addressed sufficiently was this: why one event or "childhood" could be traumatic for one child, and not for another. Paul alluded to "gene variations" which I agree with, but this isn't sufficiently concrete ---to satisfy me or even Peter ---from what I could tell. As others have alluded to, Gabor Mate speaks to this to some extent----the more sensitive the child, the more susceptible he / she is to absorbing external events in a traumatic way (stimulus overload---anxiety...threats). I Suspect that this may even be the other side of the coin of some forms of intelligence, i.e., there is no free lunch in life--the price you pay. Intelligence to some extent is perception and while you may be a sponge for soaking up knowledge, the same individual may be easily traumatized and overwhelmed, and then, seek forms of escape....seek comfort...and longer term have a damaged hedonic system. Hello substance abuse.

I just was an anxious, sensitive, intelligent kid. I still have a professional job in nyc, but have held onto it while walking a razor's edge.

@@rgdden2702 thanks. It’s a pretty unique experience approaching death +\- 100 times lying on the floor of my apt’s kitchen. I don’t know why I’m alive my heart should have stopped and I was too stupid to call 9/11. I rolled the dice and lived.

and what is very odd is that doctors call consuming marijuana a "recreational drug"...instead of a symptom of trauma...self medicating.

Peter was wonderful going depth by asking meaningful and interesting questions but i was very disappointed by Dr.Conti because he didn't give one straight and clear answer to what Peter's meant and i find that frustrating because i wasted 2 hours waiting for him to get to the point where we can use tools for shame and trauma and all he was doing just nagging and answering important questions with shallow , vague and irrelevant answers.

Same here , was a waste of time , usually i enjoy Peter's content but this time his Guest presented unfortunately bad and trivial information, i couldn't benefit from it at all. I felt all he wanted just to promote his book not providing a beneficial information.

Pres Donald Trump and his alcoholic brother who died are an example of coming from the same early environment and having different results. Donald won't touch alcohol after seeing his brother's suffering. He has the survivor rationality. They both grew up with heavy stress under their authoritarian father, one got broken.

The Health Care Systems in America (which is Corporate Medicine) isn't really inteterested in 'Helping People' b/c just like Chris Rock said, 'Their Ain't no MONEY in the cure'... And, 'how a drug dealer makes his money, is on the COME BACK'... And, IF a person is considered a 'Liability' in society and the Health 'care' can't make any money off of their 'clients' Euthanasia awaits in secret Eugenics oriented Amerika (now)...
