Prepare to dive deep into the intricate web of human psychology, trauma, and the essence of personal responsibility.
Today, I’m joined by the insightful Dr. Paul Conti, a psychiatrist, consultant, and author who is adept at helping people untangle complex problems and find a path to healing. His book, Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, examines the most recent research, clinical best practices, and dozens of real-life stories to present a deeper, richer, and more urgent view of trauma.
In this episode, Dr. Conti unravels the complexities of trauma, its lasting impact on our mental and emotional well-being, and the pivotal role of personal responsibility in our healing journey. He emphasizes the importance of acknowledging our traumas, understanding their origins, and taking proactive steps towards healing and self-awareness.
Join us as we explore the societal misconceptions surrounding trauma, the significance of human connections in our healing process, and how logic and emotion work to craft our narratives.

Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. A trader made over $350k in this recession influenced market.

[@KatyMccullars]

Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

[@sandra65823]

The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.

[@mark75700]

Please who is the consultant that assist you with your investment and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with this person.

[@sandra65823]

My advisor is Stephanie Kopp Meeks highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. She has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.

[@mark75700]

I am going to look her up, I have about $81k i want to start with, might be small but it's better than nothing though. Since the 08 crash is playing out again.

Summary and Timestamps: 00:00 🌍 To bring order to life's chaos and find beauty, taking responsibility for your mind and life is essential. 01:27 🪴 Taking responsibility for yourself is crucial, even though there are people who can help and care for you. 02:39 💡 Trauma often creates false lessons, leading to shame and fear that hinder self-responsibility. 05:40 🏥 The healthcare system prioritizes speed over health, leading to over-prescription of medications. 06:51 🪶 Self-love and taking responsibility are crucial, even if society doesn't provide immediate support. 09:22 🔍 To put trauma in its proper place, individuals should assess their internal changes, defensive structures, and habits. 16:35 🔄 Trauma often leads to changes in defensive structures and behaviors that individuals may not be consciously aware of. 18:38 🧠 Trauma affects neurobiological pathways, influencing how we perceive ourselves and our behaviors. 20:15 ⌛ Trauma can accelerate biological aging, making someone physically older than their chronological age. 21:21 🧠 Understanding and addressing factors that cause inflammation, such as stress and diet, can be crucial for overall health. 21:36 💪 Developing discipline and the right mindset can help achieve various life goals, including better health, relationships, and career success. 22:28 🧘 Trauma can significantly impact a person's self-worth and ability to care for themselves, making it essential to address underlying trauma. 31:45 🤔 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be a valuable tool for interrupting negative thought patterns and fostering positive self-perception but should be combined with other therapeutic approaches. 35:46 💡 Intelligence is not a direct predictor of suicide risk. The ability to connect with others and have positive internal states is more crucial in understanding and helping individuals in distress. 40:47 🤝 Positive human connection and understanding without recoiling can be immensely impactful for individuals who have experienced trauma, helping them regain a sense of self-worth and healing. 42:41 🤔 Awareness of goodness inside oneself is important, as it can influence how you respond to others and situations. 43:24 🧘‍♂ Understanding your own emotions and feeling states can decrease worry and help you make plans for the future. 44:05 🧐 Don't rely solely on what people overtly say; there's more to their experiences and feelings beneath the surface. 46:13 🧠 Logic often doesn't prevail over strong emotions, emphasizing the importance of emotional well-being. 50:25 💡 Radical recontextualization is essential in helping individuals with false premises or negative beliefs about themselves. 54:02 💊 Medication may be necessary in some cases, but therapy and recontextualization are key components in helping people change their beliefs and internal states. 55:57 🌟 Connecting with others and addressing extreme isolation can play a crucial role in helping individuals with trauma-related negative beliefs. 57:46 🤝 Compassion should involve accountability and helping people help themselves rather than just providing temporary relief. 01:03:02 🌟 Seeing people in a societal context and considering psychological, personal, and societal aspects of health is essential for improving healthcare outcomes and containing costs. 01:04:25 💪 Even in extreme situations like solitary confinement, humans need connection and interconnection to maintain their well-being and sense of purpose. 01:05:36 🌐 We are built to be interconnected and to make the world around us better. Deprivation of connection can lead to a loss of vitality and the ability to generate positive change. 01:09:00 📝 Journaling and talking to oneself can help maintain a sense of connection and make experiences more real, even in isolation. 01:11:14 💡 Finding meaning and purpose in life, especially in the face of trauma, is essential for resilience and perseverance. 01:13:25 🌈 Resilience often arises from finding meaning and goodness in negative experiences, without denying their pain or impact. 01:20:03 🚀 When faced with overwhelming situations or trying to push one's limits, acknowledging the need for self-care and logical assessment of demands is crucial to avoid burnout. 01:23:21 🤔 Emotion often drives individuals more than logic, and understanding this is crucial for effective communication and self-awareness. 01:24:30 🧠 Logic serves as a tool to convey details and information, but the underlying drive is often emotional, leading people to push themselves beyond their limits. 01:26:14 💡 "Doing less is always an option" can help prevent overwhelm and the dangerous game of valuing oneself based on productivity. 01:27:20 🌟 High-performers, like Lady Gaga, face pressures to do more, but the key is to push your tolerance, not your self-esteem, and avoid making yourself special in a negative way. 01:30:48 🌄 Balancing self-acceptance and self-improvement involves understanding that you can make your life better, even if you don't have all the resources, and that self-love should be earned through meaningful actions. 01:38:08 🧐 Self-esteem should be built on a strong foundation of self-understanding and constructing a narrative of self that integrates logic and emotions, including acknowledging the impact of trauma. 01:42:54 📚 Uncle Rango's story, as shared by Paul Conti, is an inspiring example of someone who overcame low expectations, expulsion from school, and anger to lead a meaningful life. 01:44:15 🎖 Uncle Rango's transformative experiences in World War II revealed qualities like perseverance and resilience that he and others didn't know he possessed. 01:46:00 😔 Despite the heroism and achievements, Uncle Rango carried the burden of having to order the execution of prisoners during wartime, causing him significant shame and inner torment. 01:49:45 💑 Uncle Rango's relationship with his wife, Aunt Rose, was anchored in their mutual respect, traditional roles, and unwavering support for each other. 01:53:36 📖 Trauma can disrupt one's self-narrative, causing individuals to perceive themselves negatively, even when they wouldn't judge others in the same way. 02:00:22 📜 Crafting a positive narrative around trauma can empower individuals to find meaning, heal, and move forward, even in the face of terrible events. 02:03:24 🤔 Understanding that the belief of being inherently bad, which many people hold, is often rooted in emotions and not necessarily logical soundness. 02:04:35 🤝 Taking responsibility for ourselves is crucial, as we cannot rely on others to do so. We should also contribute to helping those in need within our interconnected society. 02:05:33 🌐 Concerns about social media's impact on society, as it tends to create narrow, isolated tribes rather than a broader sense of unity. 02:07:32 💻 Discussing the potential benefits and dangers of AI, emphasizing the importance of understanding human emotions and trauma when developing artificial intelligence. 02:19:13 🧠 The role of trauma in human behavior, how it can lead to both positive and negative outcomes, and the importance of addressing and understanding trauma to reduce suffering. 02:23:38 🧠 Emotions play a significant role in human decision-making, often leading to short-sighted actions. 02:24:21 🌐 There's a connection between gene editing, intelligence, and emotions in the context of human behavior. 02:25:14 💔 Pursuing extreme intelligence alone can lead to dangerous consequences, emphasizing the importance of compassion and emotional intelligence. 02:26:09 🤖 Questions arise about how to align AI with human values, considering whether it should prioritize love, compassion, or another orienting mechanism. 02:27:33 ❤ Prioritizing cultivating meaningful relationships, such as a loving marriage, can lead to greater happiness and fulfillment in life. 02:28:44 🚗 Logic is important, but it is emotion that gives life meaning and drives human action. Gratitude and humility are key to happiness. 02:30:51 🌎 The affective or emotional aspects of life, rather than pure logic, are what truly matter and contribute to happiness and well-being. 02:32:16 🌟 Embracing health, understanding ourselves, and striving to be our best selves can lead to a more positive impact on the world and prevent destruction.

[@szilardoberritter4135]

Tom is a top 10 podcaster out there at least! Really enjoy his shows. The thing I would like to say about him is that he says “ I “ too much, and that indicates an attitude which could suggest that perhaps a too big part of his reasons for doing podcasts is pointed back to himself, and the agenda of it is reduced to a cause and effect style. Not trying to be judgmental and I know I could be totally wrong, but I think what separates him from being a Top5 or better podcaster is a more one-way, sort of exothermic style of podcasting which is a more journalistic and a less self-affirming style. Still enjoy the hell out of all of it, it’s just what I noticed.

[@ellensimmons7091]

The world is facing an unparalleled mental health crisis not seen in human history and the most important way to solve that problem is self awareness (why we do what we do) through self exploration, expression, and understanding of past and present needs and pains/trauma, pleasure and wants, per Paul Conti. That lack of people watching this video is proof most people are not focused on the right solutions and therapies and therefore increasing the mental health problems, not decreasing them.

[@ivaldisako]

Try to see yourself in the 3rd person, it helps a lot see where you can improve and become more aware

Hey Tom, I have to say this is one of the best if not, the best interview I've seen you hold. I paused on watching your channel as I thought you were becoming a little too opinionated for my taste but you certainly have grown as an interviewer and host. I'm just one of your listeners trying to better myself through various channels and I want to commend you for your listening skills, your relevant questions and your perspective on many things which you've shared here. This interview is powerful, I believe Paul Conti is really on to something and I feel changed by his work. You're a good man Tom and I intend to follow youagain. Respect and peace ✌️

[@user-su2hy1ny1w]

"A Person has to run countercurrent to a societally determined medical system that is not going to Change in the short term and that pushes away from health" Paul Conti, thank you for wrapping that up so eloquently, I am swimming countercurrent this river to get myself into shape again, because No one is going to save me but myself. The sooner one Takes accountability for oneself and one's own healing the better.

[@EternalKernel]

Wow I get sick of rich people trying so hard to sound like they care. Anyone wanna take bets on how long before Tom is just as toxic as Elon? LIVING A LIFE THAT IS NOTHING LIKE THE AVERAGE PERSONS CAN ONLY LEAD YOU TO NOT UNDERSTAND THEM. Don't give advice to people you don't understand, its rude presumptuous and demeaning. Holding all other variables constant; The wealthy (those who own there own houses/vehicles, can afford to have children) owe the poor respect, empath and support. The poor do not owe the wealthy a single thing other than gratitude when helped. And the ultra wealthy? those who count there wealth in the 100s of millions? Those are not people.

I lost interest in interests. I feel no pleasure in anything, .... my mental health is so bad. Im taking outloud to myself, hands shaking. Hair turned all grey my eyesight went blurry, can't sleep, lost all my muscles, and weight. Im very negative, and ruminate coulda shouda wouldas, with self pity, blame. .... im not doing well.

[@rezhnarasheed9415]

Honestly agree; he had nothing substantial to say, and I love Tom for harping on him and redirecting through, man just kept giving vague answers.

[@bkbk1184]

I think it's because what he's saying is nuanced. Self examination isn't a quick fix and it isn't a recipe. You can't come on here like the crypto guys and confidently assert you know the future and then just shrug when you turn out to be wrong. Huberman was great with Conti because he unpacked it slowly and systematically over four episodes. Tom just wants pull quotes. And it just doesn't work that way.

[@s.ascott1959]

If you are at a point where you are able to fight for yourself then you have or already begone recovering from your trauma. I almost lost my life to someone I once loved and trusted. One of the hardest things to recover from after a trauma is the loss of control in your life. How do you wrap yourself around people you trust when the person who hurt you was someone you once loved and trusted? You can't find trustworthy people when you no longer trust anyone nor your own judgement. I like his ideas. But I can't see the way to get there. How do you get rid of the deep dark fog in your head?

[@mikebasketball11]

It’s a hard question my friend, I feel like a professional perspective could offer the guidance and answer on this. I’m so sorry to hear that someone you trusted betrayed that trust. Once you can recognize that the feeling of lacking trust in others is just that - a feeling - and is likely it seems stemming from that trauma, then it’s a matter of healing the trauma before you can love again. When, not if ❤ I hope you are well.

Fantastic video! I'm truly grateful for never giving up, even during the toughest times.

When managing substantial assets, decision-making can be daunting. Sometimes, you may feel that having a bit more knowledge and making less emotional investment choices could lead to better results. In such situations, turning to a financial advisor is a wise move!

His line of inquiry makes it clear that he always takes the viewpoint of the audience into account, showing a sincere desire to aid people.

omg tom billable hours!

[@brittanystickle2035]

Has anyone asked the guy who thought he was dead, if he wants to come back to life?

[@WTHPOPL]

Good seed question!

[@don6148]

I thought it was Jordan Peterson lol

Jason Appel is the best, recommending him to all beginners who wants to be profitable in their investment .

[@ruadasflores7559]

Trading with Jason Appel was never a regret to me, he's the best I've ever seen

[@채은우CHAEUN_WOO]

I invested with Jason, i make about a 30,000USD every month.

I invested $2,500 and made $7,450 weekly with it. I only trust Mr. Jason Appel with my investment. Thanks to him, I can now send my kids to a great school in LA.

The interviewee feels like he's barely holding it together..

[@autobynef]

awesome seeing tom wearing hexagon record label t shirt

[@truefeliz1234]

Stop talking about you and let me listening to your guess, thank you for the interview but your ego is out of control

[@user-br2jw9bu1t]

It's hard to watch this guy and listen him at the same time😅😅😅 with those never-ending blinks he's got going on never seen somebody blink so much in my life he looks like a cartoon betting his eyes for a meeting call

[@joepana88]

Love Tom and love impact theory... but i may stop watching his channel... at work i like to listen, but every 2 minutes i have to take my phone out of my pocket and wait 5 seconds and click "skip ad"... annoying af and tiring... theirs better youtube podcasts that dont have ads every 10 seconds... come on Tom... you have a networth of 400 million dollars... and then you gotta scrape the bottom for advertisements? Makes me look at Tom as a money hungry pos tbh

[@violinsheetmusicblog]

this interview felt generic and shallow...didn't learn anything

[@Gladiator-qu7co]

This jazz is waaay to deep for me. Sounds all jibberish nonsense...

[@user-gp1kp4df4y]

Tom , why are you dressing so badly lately. Looks like you are trying to look as ordinary as possible. Is that the intent? Are you trying to show that look is not important to success? We should concentrate on content not look? Just curious...

[@mamadousalane2024]

Worst time to post this!

[@TheDane_BurnAllCopies]

Chaos - 15 min. listening to republicans, you got it, chaos all over...

[@ev4593]

This guy is literally a Jordan Peterson & Ben Shapiro jelly sandwich

[@poopingwhilestanding5801]

Men create order, women bring chaos. So youre saying in other words, never marry...got it.

[@bastiens3831]

Woke think the exact contrary and lead their people to madness

[@andrzejudalski7081]

This ep. is such a waste of time...

[@tonylibertella1735]

@tonylibertella1735 1 second ago It is extremely off-putting that your channel has more commercials than any other channel of this nature (self-help/bettering oneself). These obnoxious solicitings truly throws off the flow of the conversation. Fyi

[@AnnaFed015]

Fantastic video! I'm truly grateful for never giving up, even during the toughest times. I persevered until I reached success.Have you ever considered transitioning from self-investing to seeking advice from a financial advisor? When managing substantial assets, decision-making can be daunting. Sometimes, you may feel that having a bit more knowledge and making less emotional investment choices could lead to better results. In such situations, turning to a financial advisor is a wise move!

[@barbarafairbanks4578]

@AnnaFed015 UGH! 🥱 Another scamming disgusting, BOT! 🤪

[@Windarti30]

I can confirm that Dustin Dwain King is a reputable investment broker. I started with him during a tough market period, and thanks to his guidance, I made over $150k within the first 6 months. He's definitely worth considering.

[@LorraineBall939]

Hey there! I've been working with Dustin Dwain King for the past 6 months, and I'm thrilled to say I've made over $350k in profits during that time. He's been fantastic at guiding me through the market ups and downs.
