🧾 EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Diary of a CEO, featuring Dr. Paul Conti and Steven Bartlett, Leading Childhood Trauma Doctor: 10 Lies They Told You About Your Childhood Trauma! - Paul Conti explores trauma’s Hidden Epidemic: How Invisible Wounds Shape Brains, Bodies, Generations Psychiatrist Dr. Paul Conti argues that trauma is the root cause of much of modern mental and physical illness, from depression and addiction to autoimmune disease and even early death. Drawing on neuroscience and epigenetics, he explains how trauma literally changes brain circuitry, accelerates biological aging, and alters gene expression that can be passed to future generations. He reframes trauma beyond battlefield PTSD to include chronic experiences like bullying, racism, and vicarious exposure through empathy and media. Throughout, he stresses that understanding our life narrative, cultivating curiosity rather than reflexive pill‑prescribing, and processing shame in safe relationships can measurably heal trauma’s effects.
