这 section of the episode develops the topic 通过 the following source points: Welcome to the Huberman Lab 播客, where 我们 discuss science 和 science-based tools 对于 everyday life. I'm Andrew Huberman 和 I'm a professor of 神经生物学 和 ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. Today my guest is Dr. Paul Conti. Dr. Conti is a psychiatrist who did his 训练 at Stanford School of Medicine 和 then went on to be Chief Resident at Harvard Medical School. He now runs the Pacific Premier Group, which is a collection of psychiatrists 和 therapists focusing on solving complex human problems, including trauma, addiction, personality, 和 psychiatric disorders. Today 我们 discuss trauma in detail 和 the therapeutic process in detail. 对于 instance, 我们 discuss what is trauma? How do 你 know if 你 have trauma? Dr. Conti shares 与 us, 对于 instance, 那 not every experience 那 我们 think is traumatic is necessarily traumatic, 和 yet many 人们 可能 have trauma 没有 even realizing it. 我们 also talk 关于 the therapeutic process generally. 对于 instance, how to pick a therapist, how to best approach 和 go 通过 therapy, 和 how to evaluate whether 或 not therapy 和 你的 relationship to the therapist is working 或 not. 我们 also talk 关于 self-therapies 因为 我们 acknowledge 那 not everyone has access to 或 可以 afford therapy, 和 我们 talk 关于 drug therapies, 对于 instance, antidepressants, antipsychotics. 我们 talk 关于 alcohol, cannabis, ketamine, 和 the psychedelics, including psilocybin, LSD, 和 我们 talk 关于 the clinical use of MDMA 和 what the future of 那 looks like. The reason 对于 bringing Dr. Conti onto 这 podcast is 因为 I see him as the person who has the greatest 和 most holistic view of therapy, trauma, drug therapies, talk therapies, 和 how self-therapy 和 work 与 others 可以 be integrated 对于 both healing 和 growing 从 difficult circumstances. Dr. Conti is also the author of an exceptional book entitled "Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic: How Trauma Works 和 How 我们 可以 Heal 从 It." 那 book describes trauma 和 its many features, 和 many tools, some of which 我们 discuss on the podcast today. Whether 或 not 你 have trauma 或 not, by the end of today's episode, 你 会 have a much deeper understanding 关于 what trauma is. In fact, I'm confident 那 你 会 gain insight 进入 whether 或 not 你 have trauma 或 not, whether 或 not 人们 close to 你 have trauma 或 not, 和 the various paths to recovering 和 indeed growing 从 trauma 那 我们 可以 all take. As 你'll soon learn, Dr. Conti is an exceptional communicator 和 has a unique window 进入 the trauma 和 therapeutic process 那 I know 那 all of us 可以 benefit 从.
