We can look at our physical health and say, I want to be healthier. And we absolutely can and must do the same for our mental health. Dr. Paul Conti is a medical doctor and psychiatrist, an expert in treating trauma. He's been in clinical practice for over two decades.

Dr. Conti teaches us about the structure of our own minds and how to enhance our mental health. My field is very, very good at polishing the hood instead of looking at what's going on underneath in the engine. Why is it so uncomfortable to just be still with feelings and thoughts?

The first place to start is It's great to see you, Paul. Thanks for doing this. Thank you for having me. I appreciate being here. We seek out uh mental health counsel to reduce our anxiety, lower our stress, or deal with our ADHD or our depression.
