He then served on the medical faculty at Harvard before moving to Portland, Oregon, and founding a clinic. Dr. Conti serves patients and clients throughout the United States and internationally, including the executive leadership of large corporations. He specializes in complex assessment and problem-solving, as well as both health and performance optimization. For more info, https://www.pacificpremiergroup.comBook description: A Journey Toward Understanding, Active Treatment, and Societal Prevention of TraumaImagine, if you will, a disease―one that has only subtle outward symptoms but can hijack your entire body without notice, one that transfers easily between parent and child, one that can last a lifetime if untreated. According to Dr. Paul Conti, this is exactly how society should conceptualize trauma: as an out-of-control epidemic with a potentially fatal prognosis.In Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti examines the most recent research, clinical best practices, and dozens of real-life stories to present a deeper and more urgent view of trauma. Not only does Dr. Conti explain how trauma affects the body and mind, he also demonstrates that trauma is transmissible among close family and friends, as well as across generations and within vast demographic groups.With all this in mind, Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic proposes a course of treatment for the seemingly untreatable. Here, Dr. Conti traces a step-by-step series of concrete changes that we can make both as individuals and as a society to alleviate trauma’s effects and prevent further traumatization in the future.You will discover:• The different post-trauma syndromes, how they are classified, and their common symptoms• An examination of how for-profit health care systems can inhibit diagnosis and treatment of trauma• How social crises and political turmoil encourage the spread of group trauma• Methods for confronting and managing your fears as they arise in the moment• How trauma disrupts mental processes such as memory, emotional regulation, and logical decision-making• The argument for a renewed humanist social commitment to mental health and wellnessIt’s only when we understand how a disease spreads and is sustained that we are able to create its ultimate cure. With Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti reveals that what we once considered a lifelong, unbeatable mental illness is both treatable and preventable.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Our guest is the internationally acclaimed arts activist, Dr. Diane Kaufman. Dr. Kaufman is a poet, artist, humanism-in-medicine awardee, retired child psychiatrist, and founder/director of the Hold On Campaign for Suicide Prevention. The Hold On Campaign uses the power of art to connect, express, and heal. Dr.Kaufman is a suicide attempt and suicide loss survivor who has Bipolar II Disorder. We explore Dr. Kaufman’s journey of lived mental health experiences, both personal and professional, including the impact of her own suicide attempt, and a family member, friend who was also a co-worker, patients, and celebrities dying by suicide, that ultimately inspired the creation of the Hold On Campaign. We discuss the myths about suicide, navigating mental health challenges both internally (thoughts and feelings) and externally (family and relationships), breaking through silence, shame, and stigma, and reaching out for help to receive support and treatment. How suicidal thinking and mental illness effects our ability to think clearly, regulate emotions, have hope, and see purpose and meaning in life are topics of discussion, as well as how the expressive arts can play an important role in healing. In addition, Dr. Kaufman’s internationally award-winning songs on behalf of mental health well-being (she is the lyricist) and the true stories behind these songs are shared. Spreading awareness of the 988 suicide and crisis lifeline number is emphasized. To learn more about the Hold On Campaign for Suicide Prevention please see www.holdoncampaign.org.
