❤This is one of the most important podcasts I’ve ever heard! It’s so rich and detailed! I’m and a holistic massage therapist, mindfulness coach. I’ve worked very hard on my own mental health issues with anxiety and depression and understand myself. With all of the other work I’ve done hearing the message in the podcast really puts a lot of peace’s into perspective. Especially with regards to self awareness and overcoming to find peace, contentment and delight! I love this and I will keep watching and sharing❤️❤️❤️ Thank you Andrew for what you’re doing it’s so needed in the world today 🌍
I quit drinking. I first told myself I can drink on the weekends I then stopped going to drinking events I started forgetting to drink on the weekends and now I don't crave drinking. My whole life is better and more focused.
3 things that helped me and literally changed my life 1. I stopped watching porn 2. I read the book called 'Become Super Human' on lexnory 3. Stop drinking
I used to be a very insecure people pleaser. I fell severely ill in my early 40’s. I started an inner journey of innerstanding and releasing conditioned patterns. Now I’m much more healthy, calm and have sound boundaries.
I say, steady the course.. focus on getting to the pier.. imagine walking the ocean shore with a pier far in the distance.. you might stop to pick up shells, stop and walk into the waves , stop to say hello to a stranger, stop to reflect on life, stop for a cry over a memory, but always looking to that pier.. making your way to it in your time .
Awoke to this- loving it. I am having a hard life since 2008 ( financial destruction) and when I was finally getting ahead….2020. However, EVERYWHERE I ago I am regenerative. I work hard building, planting the garden, saving the wild birds, rebuilding the health of abused horses and chickens. That’s my pleasure. I eat healthy and run, cycle or swim every day. And yes, I am surrounded by aggressive people who have given up and are killing themselves through alcohol, drugs and obesity. I am low income. I struggle financially. I think I make people angry because unlike them, I refuse to give up. I am grateful to listen to this podcast. It explains a lot about why I am the target of a lot of hostility . I am on the right path. I know no humans love me but the animals sure do!
My 13 year old daughters private school provides group therapy to all 8th graders and each week is a different topic of discussion. This week's topic was about self talk being aware how you talk to yourself. My daughter truly enjoys her sessions and looks forward to them
I stopped smoking weed completely after experiecing schizophrenia from a family member. It made me reevaluate the path I was going and I researched a lot about how long term use can induce psychosis and schizophrenia. I decided that I did not want to increase my chances by another 40% given that if there's already a lineage of schizophrenia that makes me 10% likely to develop it. I was not willing to gamble with 50%. I quit. Cold turkey. So far I've been so much more focused and for the first time in my life so far, I've managed to save money and keep it that way. Sobriety is the first step to getting better.
I just wanted to let you know how how courageous I think U R for taking on so many challenges of the self. Thanks for sharing, it helps me look deep into me! Stay sober& chemical free(alcohol,pills,nicotine) all these substances mess us all up mentally & physically.👍✌️🦋
I was a 25 year pothead, smoking many times per day. I finally quit for good 4 years ago, way too late, but not never Well done, and don't give up (except the herb of course 😊)
Hi there I just got your like, thnx for the reply, it lets me know I’m not alone in my way of thinking& it helps me spiritually and to keep away from this bad stuff that clouds up your mind; keep up the good work ✌️🦋
Wow, wow, and wow again. I literally had an emotional breakdown last week. I ended up in the hospital for 6 days. When I came home I couldn't handle it. I literally came to the conclusion that I don't know how to live. Just live. When we think about what we need there are very few things we have to do. Like sleeping, breathing, eating, and moving. I don't get enough sleep, I don't take deep breaths, I barely eat, and I don't exercise. If I don't do the basic things to just exist, how can I do anything else well? It seems simple but, it really helped me find focus and a starting point for better health.
Thank you @thekeeks3032, I am working on things. I don't get enough sleep, I don't take enough deep breaths, I don't eat all day, I am a night eater, I don't exercise and I have two gym memberships and love music and dance. lots of love to you.. Be well and stay Beautiful♥
You underestimate the degree to which the government can insert themselves into a person's life and demoralise them intentionally manipulating relationships, cutting off their ability to earn money by control over companies bank accounts cards and the rest, canceling social status, creating artificial homelessness as a means to dispose of inconvenient individuals with opinions that the government would prefer to discredit. If you don't believe this is happening that's very unfortunate but it's been going on for a long time and it's currently happening to me so, I thought I would share this information in the light that it might wake someone up a bit out of complacency. The homeless problem is like the drug problem, billions of dollars of pumped into it and it creates vast amounts of money.. if that seems completely counterintuitive, it won't do in the next 15 to 20 years when more and more covert data becomes publicly available. Your government can and do dispose of inconvenient types, who gets to actually interact with who and who gets to breed a family is actually very tightly controlled although it may not ever seen that way to you... Who gets to be successful and who gets a career is also likewise very tightly controlled... Who has access to the money machine and who doesn't likewise.. When you have sudden misfortune in your life it might be wise to consider the likelihood of it not being just some sort of chaotic series of events that couldn't have been predicted by anyone in certainly couldn't have been generated by anyone. Even worse random things also happen, which just makes identifying which is which very difficult.. Now I'm sure you're going to take this as the ramblings of a paranoid delusional type but then it all seems like someone's delusional until it's happening to you, now you're the delusional homeless person why would anyone believe you your clothes look messy that's enough reason to be suspicious of someone.. you could be a professor but if you look like you eat out of garbage dumpsters who the hell is going to listen to a thing you've got to say... The culture is likewise very carefully managed, The reliance upon image identity likewise not coincidental, just in case anyone gets too big for their boots you can always use the fact that they are too old and out of touch yes the age weapon that's the way it's useful to discredit individuals who've been around too long and got too comfortable... You see the whole thing's a giant game on one level, if I can think of all of this garbage and it's even remotely implementable which of course it is deeply implementable with modern technology, how do you suppose in justify that someone wouldn't be doing all of this, worse they would be catastrophically vulnerable if they didn't... Because someone else would definitely be willing to... Nothing in your world is quite how it seems, thank you lucky stars for what they've allowed you to have, you'll never know the truth until you find yourself at the very bottom of the pyramid, because it's only when you look up with true perspective that you really see everything clearly, but by then it's too late no one is going to listen to a word you've got to say anymore. So yes we can talk about the drive but they know about that and remove it intentionally from people
I predict this series with Dr. Conti will be one of the most impactful you have done to date Dr. Huberman. Humanity desperately needs this information unveiled. Thank you both!
This is really great information & quite informative,& if only more people today could get this in their mind. Go within & get in tune with yourself & your headspace & get mentally stronger & healthy. In my own life I always just wanted the best for my family & friends & others & Every living thing in this Earth. Love & gratitude & kindness & courtesy to each other are an excellent attribute & endeavor to have. I believe this much to My very Core. This proverbial sandbox herein Earth in this place is really big enough to have everyone gather & reach their goals & dreams. There should be no hungry child no homeless people no body strung out in drugs alcohol or other crutches. They are all just trying to numb & escape their reality of not achieving receiving & trying to do better & be the best versions of themselves. Trust that I know this. The only thing I do now is try to be a better version of me today than I was yesterday & if I find a person in my path to pay it forward for, then I do just that. It’s so simple, yet why aren’t more people aware & doing this? I ask? I’m am an empathetic non judging humble being & only here for a short visit too. I’m aware my time is short. May you all reach your fullest potential purpose & self & realize you are worthy & Loved . & that nothing fake or artificial in this World will really fill Your sadness or emptiness or anything that you feel is lacking from within yourself. So Please, I beseech you all to try be honest with yourselves & go deep into your core & find the happiness love & care for yourself & others that we all collectively as Humanity, are here just to understand & Learn. & that alone too would be a huge improvement in This world. When you give of yourself, the return to your very heart & Soul, may just astound you. Just try it & see. With Care & LOVE Take Care Another Human Friend 🕊️💕🕊️ PS I am Not ai or an ibot. I’m real flesh & blood. Homosapien type Captcha: please describe to me that you are not a robot Mark a check if you are Human ✔️ Thank You ♥️😊♥️
Self-assessment is a critical life skill that should be taught everywhere consistently. Valuing life and our mental health and wellbeing prevents disease, cruelty, lashing out, abuses perpetrated on children and animals, mental breakdowns, and a host of other avoidable conditions. America needs help. Thank you.
I have struggled with bi-polar, childhood trauma and 3 years ago a TBI changed my life. While I rebuild myself I have been confronted by a lot of my unresolved inner baggage . Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work you do. The information you share has helped me, my family and my community.❤
It often feels as though this era is fraught with seemingly endless hopelessness and despair. Dr. Huberman and Dr. Conti, what you have done here is nothing short of prayers answered, existential loneliness lessened, hope planted and encouraged actionable steps illustrated for a greater humanity. A profound thank you for this and the future parts of this series!
I am a Psychiatric Nurse and had shared your podcasts to my patients, I am really grateful that you did this, very informative and an excellent discussion with Dr. Conti!
How wonderful and a super idea, I shared it with my son who suffers but many others could benefit too, sometimes sharing with others might be seen as insulting, guess you have to know your audience.
Thank you for another wonderful session. As a psychologist, allow me to expand on your question regarding 'staying in a relationship longer than one should': Our parents imprint on us what we come to recognize as love. If we had neglectful parents, we may be drawn to neglectful partners; an irresponsible parent may have left the impression that 'this is love,' leading us to seek out similar traits, even if we can't tolerate such behavior. And yes, we can change our patterns. 😊
Dr Huberman has made this point many times before and some of the guests too. It can also go the other way where we are attracted to the polar opposites. That's me. Cold, callous, uncaring mother, broken family, so I'm attracted to non-white, warm, kind, traditionally feminine women from big families.
Dr Conti, you are one of the most empathetic people I have been able to come across, the way you chose your words and speak with so much sensitivity but assertion it's truly moving... I haven't felt this much impacted with a series before thankyou Dr Huberman for bridging the education gap and making such important pieces of information open to everyone
@@immanuelhall4577that's because people who act out are mentally unhealthy and tend to have unprocessed trauma that activates negative automatic thoughts and other cognitive distortions (catastrophising, grandiosity) that trigger the fight response. Having adult internal dynamic to process criticism without exploding is a definition of mental health. Being able to deliver criticism or your side in a good way is way to help the unhealthy person understand better and process their unprocessed trauma. In a way it's therapeutic to step in the role of constructive, assertive critique without attacking or overstepping boundaries. It brings peace to the society.
Mr. Huberman, I want to thank you for this…I think this will change my life for the better. Since listening to you it brought me the strength to address and get my whole family mental help. I’ve also gained the strength to show up better as a brother to my three sisters and helping them with college, woman issues, and life. For myself, I feel like I am getting to a point where I think I can achieve what I want; because I have the tools to heal and reframe my mind. You saved my life; and if I ever get the opportunity Andrew I would break down and cry and give you a hug. I am a man that is not candid in this way. I also don’t cry often. but I just cannot thank you enough sir. Thank you so much
I hope you get the love and support, the compassion and kindness from the women you love (and others YOU LOVE). It is selfless and rewarding to help others (those who want their lives to be better WILL be helped by your love and support) but those who are truly empathic do need those who RECIPROCATE and support YOU when you need the kindness and love you give others. Please safeguard YOUR energy, your emotional well-being.
This week, I will delve into the study of health from the perspective of 'Awareness of Love.' May it provide additional knowledge and answers to life's questions. Thank you.😊
May I suggest the 4th Edition of all PhD authored Roediger, Herman, Capaldi Psychology text to credit where PhD Huberman extrapolated many evolutionary theories and practices…
Dr Huberman, I so very much hope you read this. You've deeply affected my life, and I mean given me the tools to improve it in so many ways. I've been listening to your podcast lectures from day one, and without question this episode and the 3 more to come with Paul Conti may be for many people and certainly for me the best thing ever on the internet. This will save lives, improve lives, improve society, and make a better world. Dear God, do i ever have you and Paul Conti, along with dozens of your other guests, on my forever gratitude list! Please keep doing this incredibly important work. * Take note I live in Arkansas, grew up in Chicago but have been here 25 years, Rural states don't have access to the level of clinician you present and I absolutely can't shout loud enough how precious and priceless your quality scientific information pesented with an earnest desire to help people truly is. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I apologize for this being so long, but I needed to thank you for how much this podcast has meant to me. 🙏
I'm a big fan of Dr Huberman, and have been for ages, but how have I not heard of Dr Conti before? This man is a philosopher, a true scholar! Thank you for your awareness 🙏❤️A great meeting of minds! What a show!!! 🤩
Dr, Conti shared so much depth in this podcast and there is a lot to unpack. That's 10 years of therapy in a bottle every one needs to hear this at least 10 times to absorb this information .
Just wanted to express my gratitude for your podcasts! I had to put my 16 year old dog to sleep a couple days ago, I am a veterinarian and had to do it myself which made it quite intense. Listening to your work has given me some emotional relief on long runs throughout this grieving process, I hope her spirit crosses Costello’s 😌 Edit: thank you all for your beautiful responses, feeling overwhelmed with gratitude for this wonderful community 💜
My dog is my best friend. We have been together everyday for almost 10 years. I've had one of her eyes rebuilt, she really is my everything. I have been there before and I know I will be there again with this pet. I'm truly sorry for your loss. I want to tell you that you did the right thing. I have to trust your judgment as a loving owner and a trained professional, so I am. Nothing about you could tell me that you love your animals any more. I'll give my dog a hug for you and send it through the ether...may peace be with you.
My gal was 16.5yo and it was just this past May, that she needed help passing along. I wish I could have done it at home but did take her body back home with us so that we could do our ceremonies and have more time with her in that stilled quiet state. She was with me since she was 2mths old and was the being that was in my life the longest. Longer than my being with my parents and longer than my child, who ventured on his own the same age I did. She is still a constant companion in the energetic ether and that brings me tremendous comfort. But I cry everyday tears of love and gratefulness for the joy she brought to me but also tears of mourning. Losing pets has always been hard for me but this one really has impacted me in ways I am still coming to terms with. I look forward to the next canine beast who will fill the hole in my being. My dog really did make me a better human. My best to all those who have loved a dog and those that will lose them too.
This podcast just saved my life. I ruined 2 relationships and 1 career and was so sad and confused as to why it happened again despite me being aware of why it happened. And this podcast has helped me to find the root cause, understand myself and move forward with better life perspective. Although i’m still grieving for my loss, I felt so much better due to being able to make sense of everything.
@@galvannarek i try my best to make it short. i lost all those 3 things due to my anger issues. this podcast made me realize i used unhealthy defense mechanism such as projection against people i love / coworkers. when traced back, i had so many incorrect predispositions. this podcast gave me the understanding on why i acted in such way and how i'm supposed to focus on having a good life perspective and take accountability as opposed to distracting myself with pleasure and end up approaching life the wrong way. basically my pain is taken away when i understand how i'm supposed to view life and now i'm currently in progress of making gradual change of mindset.
You are a pioneer of taking complex subjects, and delivering it in Laymans terms that most everyone can understand. Such a crucial subject to discuss in a World 🌎 like today. We all need it. Grateful. Ty
Look up the Bible story if The Widows Mite! ( Mite- a value of part of a penny. ) You have given GREATLY and from a kind heart - you will be GREATLY blessed!💝🙏💝
KUDOS to you, @jk7jester: My mom taught me, when i was very little, that donations of apparent great generosity is not necessarily what they seem on the surface: ie unselfish and truely altruistic.. I had commented, effusively, on how "generous" it was that a very wealthy person VERY PUBLICALLY gave monies to Cancer research. The radio DJ had repeatedly praised this action with excessive verbiage, attributing to this man great sacrifice and humility. She quietly asked if the amount gifted was, to that individual, actually "generous" or might they have ulterior motives? She pointed out that the amount of money (though extravagant to our household income) was in truth, very little given that person's wealth. Granted, it is arguably better to donate such monies to a charity (publicly or not) than to waste it....but...she posited that he was RECIEIVNG a multitude of PUBLIC attention and applause (given the fact he did so very publicly) and he would no doubt be giving these monies for the tax break, as such donations are tax deductible here. She asked me to estimate the percentage of the gift, compared to his wealth, and compare that amount to the percentage of a smaller donation from someone who TRULY CAN NOT AFFORD TO GIVE more than a "relatively small amount". She enlightened me to the fact that (in comparison) the $50.00 that many of our VERY POOR neighbours donated when she canvassed on behalf of the charity was in truth far more generous. They also did so without any fanfare or publicity, yet still they gave. GENEROUSLY and ALTRUISTICALLY. She did not point it out, but I asked was this why she gave so unselfishly of her TIME as we could truly NOT spare even a few dollars to support this [and other charities] such as the SPCA which were cause(s) she believed in? My mom devoted many evenings to this task, despite a working day which began prior to dawn, work which was physically and mentally demanding and relentless throughout the entire day, well into the evening. When I was married, I tried to talk my husbter into donating monies to the BC Children's Hospital (which had helped my/our eldest son since infancy) and he REFUSED, claiming we "could not afford it". AFTER he left we three, I donated weekly small amounts of my much smaller income to that very charity. I felt GRATITUDE that we had not lost our home and were not actually starving...so each time I shopped for groceries, I HELD BACK AT LEAST ONE "luxury" item that we REALLY WANTED (such as processed foods) at the till, and donated THAT amount to the Hospital. Also, many times I bought one of the non perishable high value foods recommended by the Food Bank as being MOST NEEDED and paid for TWO such items, placing one in the bin (to help those less fortunate than ourselves) as we left the store. I then integrated the new items into our weekly meal planning. THEREAFTER, I went straight home and after the groceries were stashed, made my kids MUCH CHEAPER HOMEMADE cookies or pies to reward them for their UNSELFISHNESS. I think it's wonderful to give what you can
Dude, this video is like a goldmine of wisdom that can seriously change your life! The way the teacher breaks down stuff is eye-opening. It's like a roadmap to a better you, shining a light on how to live your best life.
What did you find wise? I’m about half way through and I don’t think I’m going to be able to finish. I’m a huge fan of the HLP, and I enjoy reading the psychoanalysists …but this guy is just the worst of all these relating fields.
I see in his eyes the passion for what he is conveying, and I love this !!! I will revisit this , by the Grace of God, just like it was his Good Grace, that despite in my own willingness to make selfish choices, he has still allowed me stumble upon this message and eloquent messenger. Thanks be to God 🙏
I know this is a loaded concept (what we teach in schools) but I do wish they’d have a curriculum that included how to deal with emotions and cope in the world. Parents try their best but we are the results of multiple generations- including the good, bad and inbtwn. As a clinician myself, and someone who is still learning to understand my emotions and live well with them, I find society as a whole could benefit from accessible tools to cope. Even when I worked in acute pain management, the majority of my patients had an inability to cope that was as hindering as their physical pain. I appreciate podcasts and platforms such as this as it creates a bridge to all of us being better able to understand and cope. 🙏 keep it up!
I agree with this, and many countries already include this. Unfortunately, teaching empathy, emotional insight, care, love, etc. has been included in the "anti-woke" agenda of extremist groups and is now targeted in the United States. It is unfortunate because it's not like we are missing the knowledge. What we're missing is the social structure, institutions, and systems to spread it.
It's a loaded concept because people don't really want to teach the next generation what is actually healthy for them, they want to brainwash them into thinking the same as them, no matter which side of the "concepts" they are on. A true curriculum could be developed which is totally none political, but that wouldn't suit the agenda of the powers that be. Students that can cope with the stressors of life could also think for themselves, not really the agenda of the public school system, which is to produce a compliant work force for the future and nothing beyond that.
Dear Dr. Huberman, I have been listening to you for the last 3 years and am very happy with your current success and reach. You are one of the very few grown-ups in the room (I won't name names of who isn't, yet purport to be). Your calmness, consistency, and intelligence are a much needed balm in today's crazy world. You have a clear love and respect for science while keeping an open mind, and you acknowledge there are many things you don't know. I hope you don't let success get to your head and always stay self-aware and unbiased in your thinking and approach. Thank you for the work you are doing.
Mental health is such a big issue in life. We need to teach this more. Superficial content is not going to cut it. Glad hubberman is doing the lord's work
When there are too many stressors it makes is pretty difficult to remain mentally healthy. I live in the city, hopefully I can get out soon. My backyard is lit up with LED lighting from the street and I can hear the freeway, always. My city is growing so fast that where ever I drive there is construction and drab row housing and strip malls are all I see. The beautiful mountains I would look upon to orient myself now have huge mansions built into them. Though I am out doors on my street often there are neighbors I have not met once that live on my street. I do try daily to be grateful for what I do have but sometimes I do not believe the stressors we are put under are conducive for health, yet there they are. Maybe the new "Line" they are creating will be better? I am going to listen to the whole talk but at 4 hours I am going to need to break it up some. I am hopeful that it will help with my discouragement of my surroundings.
I've just started watching. When I started taking an SSRI I could feel the difference between happy and unhappy and this difference is grattitude. I've never been so grateful to this worrld and to my life. It's incredible. I knew I had to be grateful before but couldn't feel it
@@Marcspix. Hi! I am taking citalopram, but I cannot recommend it, it has been prescribed by my medical doctor because it's combinable with other medicine that I have to take. It has been prescribed because I have a mental disorder that wasn't allowing me to consistently perform all the daily actions I love and that are actually making me happy and grateful 😊
My experience was the opposite of yours. Citalopram took away all joy and most other emotions in my life with the exception of the anxiety it was supposed to help 😔
This podcast is like a summation of a lot of what I’ve had to work through and has provided me with much closure of my past life. How refreshing it is to hear professionals discussing what I basically had to work through on my own as I could not find the appropriate help to heal my full blown traumatic past…This podcast has not only given me much closure but has also contributed to the cementing of my amazing resilience in remaining alive, aware, strong and hopeful….( I should be so very dead long time ago ). It’s nothing short of a miracle that in spite of ALL the excessive abuse and trauma, that my CHILD LIKE SPIRITED NATURE IS ALIVE, WELL and STILL IN ITS AUTHENTIC STATE. THE fact that I’m able to understand all that was discussed blows me away as my health was grossly NEGLECTED. THANK YOU DR.PAUL🙏🏼 and THANK YOU ANDY for pursuing your passion and for being real down to earth by being personal and for letting your light shine🙏🏼⚓️🕊️🤍🙏🏼 3:26:38 3:26:43 3:26:47 3:26:23 3:26:49 3:26:53 3:26:56 3:26:58 3:27:04 3:27:09 3:27:24 3:28:25 3:35:50 3:35:56 3:35:59 3:36:40 3:36:50 3:36:53 3:37:25 3:37:29 3:37:32 3:37:40 3:37:44 3:37:48 3:37:53 3:37:56 3:37:59 3:38:02 3:38:03 3:38:07 3:38:10 3:38:15 3:38:16 3:38:18 3:38:29 3:39:25 3:39:26 3:39:31 3:39:48 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 3:40:09 3:40:19 3:40:21 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
❤As a person with weekly therapy for over 30 years and (also an Emergency Medicine physician) You should be knighted or sainted or put on Mt. Rushmore! Thank you for your motivation and for sharing such beautiful and valuable information.
As a mental health psychotherapist working in an underfunded and over stretched service, I would like to say how much I appreciate the work and dedication to bring top class and brilliantly presented information to the public. I know I can trust the evidenced information I hear and I am able to use it for my own self-care and for my clients. Dr. Paul Conti is a role model to me and I am delighted and excited about this series. Thank you and your teams so much.
Dr. Paul Conti is very well knowledgable to mental health. He has provocative insights that comes from a true butterfly in the wall. He strips everything bare to the lowest layer of knowledge.
I cannot thank you enough for this series with Dr. Conti. Makes me feel like I’m not faulty and gives me such insight into myself and others that is just beyond any gratitude I can give! Thank you to you both!!!! 💞💞💞 I am a person who had continual childhood trauma and I’ve been working on myself for a long time but I still struggle with socializing in the work situation and with people I know more than strangers. I struggle to say hi or good morning or look people in the eye when I walk by and I’ve worked here over 7 years. And then I feel like if I were to try and change this, it would draw even more attention to me since that’s not really me. Listening to this though makes me feel like being me is ok. Doesn’t mean I can’t improve on things but I don’t need to beat myself up so much.
Beating yourself up in any way is not recommended. We must encourage ourselves and be our own cheerleaders... From that mindset, the greatest outcome is possible. Shaming and blaming ourselves only hinders us. Absolutely be gentle with yourself and "just keep swimming" ❤
The bit about demoralization gave language to an experience I’ve been blindly grappling with for years. That bit alone is so valuable to me, and has given me access to a deeper understanding of my own drive and ever-toiling effort to self express. you both deserve reminding that the words you share have significant, life-altering, profound impacts on those listening in. Thank you thank you thank you!!!♥️✨♥️✨♥️
This is insane… I am sooooo happy that you are speaking up on this!!! About 3 weeks ago, I had to go stay with a couple different households when my air went out (Thank God for amazing family and friends). When I was there, it was the eye opening experience I needed to get my butt in gear. I currently have a very dysfunctional/unstructured house at home but after watching these other families function happily together as a unit, it opened my eyes up to what we need to be doing at home in order to help us with our mental health which will lead us to become happier and more functioning humans. Agency and gratitude. Wow! 🤯 It’s finally clicking!!!!
I loved that Dr. Conti talked about gardening. Gardening is simple and beautiful. It made me realize that the simple things I do well are important too because sometimes I don't think I do things that matter much. Thanks!
Honestly, mental health represents the pinnacle of both art and science. It's incredibly intricate, and I admire Huberman's humility in tackling such a daunting subject. Practicing in this field can be challenging and uncomfortable, yet simultaneously both difficult and accessible. It transcends traditional scientific boundaries and mirrors the intricacies of our minds. While it's a rewarding discipline, it requires resilience. Understanding the structure and function of the self provides a powerful framework for grappling with the complexities of the mind. Many thanks to Dr. Conti for shedding light on this topic. It appears that delving into the science and healing of the mind is akin to a divine undertaking, positioned at the forefront of both science and medicine. It's a discipline that demands both extreme rationality, akin to Huberman's approach, and profound intuition, reminiscent of an artist's sensibility. Engaging with the full spectrum of human experiences is essential in this field, making it simultaneously challenging and immensely fulfilling. However, psychiatry, operating beyond strict scientific confines and blending wisdom with science, requires substantial mental resources to practice effectively. It's unfortunate that psychiatrists often don't receive the recognition they deserve within the medical community, considering they work with the most delicate and crucial aspect of humanity: the mind. Indeed, the practice of psychiatry is closest to playing God, necessitating caution and care. Imagine the weight of attempting to heal someone from their inner demons - it's truly remarkable.
Dr. Huberman …. I am 71 years old..youngest of six…Cptsd from raging dad…three rowdy..fighting brothers..I just recently finished seven Ketamine infusions, at a wonderful place..I had MDD …it took my depression away, but now I need to work on the Cptsd…I have found a great lady with videos, with a crappy childhood..I am starting a group workshop for six weeks. My psychiatrist is awesome..I am learning meditation , she suggests two 20 minutes meditation a day..I have been married to my high school friend going on 51 years.
Confidence is the ability to dissolve into a puddle of your own tears, even publicly, and not be thrown away by the experience because every day, even every hour, is a brand new time for you as if the breakdowns not only didn't hurt you, but you became even more confident as a result.
I first came across Andrew's podcasts when I was looking for information about low lumens at work. Our office had lighting at 70 lumens and I needed information on why that was affecting my work. Dr. Huberman's earlier work talks about ophthalmic neuroscience. I saw the well-organized sharing of information as a model that could help me learn to be a better communicator and learn about myself and others. I just want to say thank you.
The recipicle part of giving/receiving Life Information/therapy(kinda) is what I just went through today. I always have before..... only now, it will be by my design And God willing, and he is, we'll all keep helping each other get better
Hey Andrew, I’ve been listening to your podcasts since my mother passed away a few months ago. You’ve helped me stay mentally and physically healthy through the grieving process and I wanted to write a comment to say thank you. Also, I would love it if you could do an episode on epilepsy, I grew up with temporal lobe epilepsy and I’ve found that there are lots of common misconceptions about seizures.
The sincerity of your gratitude towards the Huberman, and the intense grief are experiencing (and processing) resonates with such emotion that it brought me to tears. I'm so glad you have been listening to the podcasts, as there is so much help therein.
Nice comment sorry for your loss glad Hubermans pods help you they helped me when I couldn't sleep I looked for ward to them every Monday when I was going thru some things. If you don't mind could you clear up some misconceptions about seizures? I've only had one due to brain trauma but one bad piece of advice I've heard is how to handle dealing with someone who has them such as put a wallet or something in their mouth... in my 20s I was told that has been proven the incorrect way of dealing with it as a kid people said use a wallet or something
Yes! Please Andrew!! Definitely an episode on epilepsy and specific key questions about this disorder and the most healthy version we can achieve with epilepsy. The challenge con medicine side effects and the hard interactions we might have with people who don't completely understand.
@@Respect2theFallen there are several misconceptions about what a seizure is, what it looks like, what causes it, what to do when someone is having a seizure, and what society thinks of people with epilepsy. Kind of a lot to address in one YT comment, but in short not all seizures have convulsions. Not all seizures are triggered by flashing lights. When someone is having a seizure make sure they don’t fall, help them gently onto the ground and lay them on their side, other than that give them space. Lots of epileptics aren’t all that different than everyone else in terms of personality or capability, we just have the additional mental and sometimes physical stress of dealing with a disability
Can u do a podcast on autism as appears to be an increase in children being diagnosed with this condition in Ireland where I am and no really suitable available treatment and guidance for parents apart from the medical model ..greattings and thank u for you're gift of knowledge to the world Dr Huberman ..
Dr Pinsky explained that the goal of therapy is to build an empathic relationship with the therapist, so that you can trust, share, grow and overcome issues in relationships. It takes time to build an empathic relationship, it is not transactional like A) listen to this explanation and definition of terms, B) you are now changed for the better. Many patients lie to their therapist, some are embarrassed about how bad or petty they might sound, some are protecting not willing to open wounds, scared what might happen if they were wrong all this time, etc. Therapy is complicated for sure.
As someone personally frustrated by traditional talk therapy, this clear and mathematical structure of approaching mental health challenges is exciting. Thank you, Dr. Conti and Prof. Huberman, for this valuable series.
@@Jensth I recall Dr. Conti saying it's like a math problem, figuring out what's going on. There's a clear answer if you know how to set up the equation and look for the variable that hasn't yet been solved for
I cannot describe how insightful this episode was for me. I could identify with many aspects of what was said in this episode. Not only has it flashed out what was hidden in my unconscious mind, but it has also given me a guide on which I will rely to figure out what is preventing me from thriving in both my personal and professional realm. Thank you so much, Dr. Andrew Huberman and Dr. Paul Conti! You are building a chain of good intentions and transformations in this world. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!
Never clicked on an episode so fast- I’ve been looking forward to this for quite some time! Thank you Dr Huberman and Dr Conti for freely sharing your life’s work which I know will help so many or encourage many to get help.
Well Andrew has put us in a tough spot. He's built so much trust up with his audience because of his humility and candor that how can we not click? I feel like I'm in great hands here. The knowledge is enlightening and has made my relationship with my GP much more productive. He's had me fired up about my health for awhile now and there aren't words to thank him enough...I'd shovel the sbow from his driveway for life if he was my neighbour!
I love that Dr. Conti addressed the reductionist attitude of some doctors, how they throw pills at a problem without even bothering to understand why it's happening. So glad to hear someone in the field pointing that out! Bravo!
Dr. Conti, you are a gem. I want you to know how much these conversations impact those [me] who are struggling. Thank You so much. I see you, thank you. Dr. Huberman, I mean, you are a wonderful example of…pursuit, drive, and put into action, the life you want to lead~such an important lesson but also, an important reminder. I appreciate that so much. Thank you. Blessings Gentlemen. The information you speak, is f ing golden.
This is what the net is for. A really practical lecture, highly enjoyable so much exellent information and now available for all on this platform. True knowledge. Available for all. THANK YOU YOUNG MAN
I loved this series it's really helped me figure out how to think of myself as well as how to think of other people and what they say or do. I have to say my mental health and relationships with others have improved quite significantly since the series came out
I love that Dr. Huberman always comes up with examples from his personal life when asking questions. It all becomes so easy to understand and follow and it’s so interesting because of that (and also, because of all the great topics and great guests ofc) 👏🏻
I've watched this series so many times, and every time a new pearl of wisdom comes to me. It's one of my favorites. I love LOVE Dr. Conti, his gentleness and knowledge are beyond but his super power is the simplicity in how he explains everything.
Andrew, this has been so EXTREMELY informative and inspiring. I have literally listened to this 4 TIMES just so I can LEARN more about how to assist one’s Mental Health and maintain Mental Wellness. This is TOTALLY filled with so many Golden Gems of Wisdom & Knowledge. I am so Grateful for your Passion and Perseverance to continue to share all that you know and your Dedication to continue to Grow Awareness about the Brain and Behavioral Science. Reach One, TEACH One; you’ve definitely Reached ME! To the Spirit of LIVING! Tiff
I started living this way 10yrs ago and it’s been amazing but very difficult to maintain when I was around people who don’t understand this concept and way of life.. I maintain agency of my self care and gratitude towards growth… this is the cheat code to a very peaceful life style
Agency relies upon empowerment and Gratitude relies upon humility🙌 That alone is golden contemplative info! Thank you both for this enriching discussion. ❤Huberman does it again!
Thanks for the spot-on questions! I actually started a gratitude journal since two weeks already, and after every section I ask myself, what are the actions I could take to be feeling calm, loved, safe and powerful when I’m in a not-stimulated state, alone by myself. I called it the ActionPlanner ;) . It really helped me stay focused and start my day with a positive energy despite some really hard issues I’m going through right now. Again, thanks for the amazing content! 🤗
This is why I love practicing psychiatry!! These conversations literally make me happy and are why I will never (unless I have to) work outside of private practice, because I can’t do a 3 hour psych evaluation, do weekly therapy for as long as is needed, and spend the time necessary to find out what’s in the boxes. These conversations energize me so much.
How unique! I have always felt that one hour sessions are way too short! Also impressed you actually practice psychiatry instead of just medicating. You obviously are a caring doctor!
Really, they *"literally"* make you happy? What, as opposed to *figuratively* make you happy??🙄🙄🙄 Just curious, are you an APRN, as opposed to a psychiatrist with an MD?
Just wanted to express my gratitude for coming across your podcast and the time and energy that you put into it! This whole series with Dr. Conti gave me so much insight and I loved listening to it. Thank you again for your work ❤
I’ve listened to the first hour and a half of this episode. While it’s a very interesting discussion, all I hear is information that is abstract and intangible. I believe that simplicity is key. Concrete examples and exercises are necessary in order to effect change.
Thank you both for dedicating your existence to the genuine desires to help others. I can tell that your desire to help others is greater than the desire to become rich from helping others. I’m so grateful that I stumbled upon such humans in my search for learning about the self .
Thank you so much for this podcast. I’m struggling from a trauma that occurred when I was a kid. Recently, I was in therapy where emdr was used. From that moment, things got even worse because i found out that I haven’t had any control in my emotions. My relationship came to an end because i was overthinking all negative thoughts about our relationship and alcohol made it even worse. I am going to go to another therapist who will give me the right tools to rediscover myself and to control my emotions. Your podcast made me decide this and find out what needs to be done to heal
As a current psychiatry resident physician, Dr. Conti's perspectives on mental health and the management of psychopathology is so far removed from the way I am being taught (read: forced) to practice in my training program. I hope to do a lot of my own training and professional development after residency when I can pay for courses and the like, but it is so beyond frustrating that I first have to go through four years of learning bad habits I will have to unlearn first. Anyway, thank you for this series, both of you! I haven't had a chance to listen to the full video because 4 hours are hard to find as a resident lol, but I will be chipping away at watching the whole series.
Thank you for going through the crap you have to go through in order to come back and practice from Dr. Conti's perspective and I wish you didn't have to go through all that outdated and frustrating muck and mire to become the excellent practioner I'm sure you will become. We need you in this world.
It's good to hear a current student understanding that what they train you to do and what is most helpful are often two different things. You may take some comfort knowing this has been the case from inception, all medical/health professionals and educators experience a varying degree of this in their education and training . Get your degree and licensure and then branch out on your own and follow your heart and gut. Following your new path will lead you in the right direction and away from the old. I don't think you'll really have to spend much time unlearning the useless....It will fall to the wayside just as it should. Good Luck in your profession.
Best discussion yet for me. Thank you docs for your expertise, and for explaining all of this complexity with humility and kindness. Much much appreciated
I have been seeking understanding and articulating my pleasure drive for a long while. It was perfectly explained in Dr Conti’s statement “it’s a drive for relief”. Thank you for explaining from so many perspectives.
I think this is literally the best video in the whole channel, I love just how profound and humane the conversation here is displayed between Paul Conti and Huberman There’s just a such strong desire of goodness coming from both in this episode
as a 34yo, sufferer since 14, listening to an educated person on the topic is so fascinating, the links they can create and reasons behind things etc, the understanding they have, really is amazing.
You should look into TCM. Having studied Chinese medicine for 30 years I can honestly tell you this conversation was about as enlightening as listening to apes write music by banging rocks together. Listening to their Freudian explanations of drive theory for an hour straight made me want to tear my hair out. I'd be more explicit here but I really don't want to be rude, it's just the classic tool use fallacy: when all you have is a hammer, the whole universe is made of nails.
@@johncaccioppo1142 you should respect some people are not as far along the journey as you, great if you've gone direct to source and didn't need this, but it will help some. some who aren't aware of their issues etc. I'm sure TCM is supremely beneficial, but bit vague of you, for how damning you've been on the video to simply say TCM.. yeah ok thanks???
@@moulinyan Your criticism is entirely valid. I was only listening to this interview because I fell asleep with the computer on and was deeply annoyed by it in my sleep as it played random videos. That's MY fault, and I apologize for being catty. As to TCM, that's also my journey. If I recommend acupuncture or herbs it doesn't mean you can easily find a good doctor, but the first time I tried it, it saved my life, so I started to study it seriously and it changed the way I look at my health and reality in general. Pretty much everything the US medical system does is abusive and ineffective and I do my best to avoid typical hospitals and clinics with plenty of bad experiences to remind me to stay healthy.
@@johncaccioppo1142 i live in the UK and it is the same. i now laugh at GPs and do not trust. they read from a book and often give bad advice, they chuck medication at medical illness, something i have discovered can be fixed through wellbeing, stretching, releasing muscle tensions, and then correcting your breathing pattern, furthermore, by listening to philosophers such as ram dass and alan watts talk about the way of life to give a different perspective and escape the programming of the western world. it all boils down to a choice, but most do not suffer enough to break free or simply dont have time to focus on it with children, work or something else. they turn to alcohol just a glass a night even and slowly get more and more agitated which even leads to divorce etc. the main issue is people believing the voice they hear in their head, the egoic voice, the one that creates negativity and spirals, thinking about the past or future, too much thinking and worrying. the whole be here now movement fixes everything. but most people are so easily offset it's hard, but as Ram says, give it up again do not wallow in self pity. Do not cling to things, it creates suffering, as Alan talks about, you trust your heart to beat, or your thyroid gland to do things on its own. Breathing is curious as you can control it or allow it do it itself, like a good business manager, the delegation of responsibility. the underlying message of fear and love really is all you need, choose love, spread kindness, treat people as god, we are all god, give them your entire focus, engage with them, do not get caught up in anything which can disturb your peace. of course for me it's a much more major thing than it is for most people as it consumed me for a long time, but this is the way to happiness. be as happy for others are you can be for yourself. the mind is a powerful thing, unfortunately society has dictated many people go off track and lose the reason we are here. as for you, you shouldn't get involved in the negativity, your ego is speaking there, you see this and realise you know better and still feel the need to say something. take a breathe and say it in a different way. without the negativity, ''interesting video, but for me i've found x y z are of equal if not more importance and i recommend investigating'' etc
Andrew- you just endured an indepth, heavy-duty analysis by the good Doctor for a sub four hour session. Your guest is fascinating....and you handled it with aplomb and sincerity. Great combo- Thank you... great show.
Thank you, Andrew. You honestly might be the first man I’ve ever heard talk about health in terms of what we might be capable of doing, or of different health markers, rather than it being just based on BMI. Very refreshing to hear body positivity from a guy. Thank you!!
BMI is a starting point, the reason to investigate further. Humans do get serious metabolic stress from excess fat . I remember rationalizations like "just big boned", or its cold so i need insulation or I feel more powerfull in this big size. We see ad campaigns about "just love your body size regardless", while we have an Obesity Epidemic that is crippling the US health care & welfare systems. 50% of US kids are now in prediabtes. I'm concerned for us/US, I cannot assign it to males having over expectations of females.
BMI is actually NOT a good starting point, as it is steeped in misinformation and unbalanced/faulty research. My heart is as healthy as someone 100 lbs lighter than myself, but since people are not walking echocardiograms, they don’t see the health markers of other people. I also got back from a trip recently and the amount we walked in a week was well over 40 miles as clocked by my Fitbit. The only issue I had was with my feet, and it’s an issue unrelated to weight. Telling overweight people to “just lose weight” is, to me, the same attitude as telling a person dealing with clinical depression to “just get happy”, as if that’s (gasp) never something we’ve tried to do. Health is something that can be attained at any size.
Also how is obesity “crippling the US health care and welfare systems”, exactly? Maybe those systems were already in need of fixing without blaming it on fat. people
@@kamihayes5147 Stop blaming charts designed to start the discussion, what better starting point to hang on a doctor's wall. Long term Health is not likely with obesity. Morbid obesity is named that for a reason. Look at blue zone people's BMIs and do research before blaming a wall chart for the US diabesity / metabolic disease epidemic.These are already the majority of healthcare expenditures. Those collecting disability welfare are often from the same preventable diseases. If you want to use one anecdotal trip to disprove US medical knowlege you don't understand science and logic. US corporations have hacked processed food to hook you on sugar salt fat dopamine releases combinations to keep you eating more. But you can get diet and weight under control, it starts with acknowledgement of the problem, then putting something better in the shopping cart. Turn anger into action.
So, well adjusted mental health if far more complex than just having "agency and gratitude" (as we all are well aware). Thank you Dr. Huberman for once again drawing out the details and paraphrasing the concepts in terms anyone can follow and understand. It is a true gift. I love how you are able to do this with every person you interview.
There's no amount of words that can be written as appreciation towards what both you Mr Hubberman and doctor Conti have shared. Nobody is the same, and experiences and trauma may differ...... But with the knowledge yourll share, it gives a person the tools to fight there own battles. Much appreciation and respect. Thank you

I say, steady the course.. focus on getting to the pier.. imagine walking the ocean shore with a pier far in the distance.. you might stop to pick up shells, stop and walk into the waves , stop to say hello to a stranger, stop to reflect on life, stop for a cry over a memory, but always looking to that pier.. making your way to it in your time .
thx
Awesome, I want that so badly.
Awoke to this- loving it. I am having a hard life since 2008 ( financial destruction) and when I was finally getting ahead….2020. However, EVERYWHERE I ago I am regenerative. I work hard building, planting the garden, saving the wild birds, rebuilding the health of abused horses and chickens. That’s my pleasure. I eat healthy and run, cycle or swim every day. And yes, I am surrounded by aggressive people who have given up and are killing themselves through alcohol, drugs and obesity. I am low income. I struggle financially. I think I make people angry because unlike them, I refuse to give up. I am grateful to listen to this podcast. It explains a lot about why I am the target of a lot of hostility . I am on the right path. I know no humans love me but the animals sure do!

I stopped smoking weed completely after experiecing schizophrenia from a family member. It made me reevaluate the path I was going and I researched a lot about how long term use can induce psychosis and schizophrenia. I decided that I did not want to increase my chances by another 40% given that if there's already a lineage of schizophrenia that makes me 10% likely to develop it. I was not willing to gamble with 50%. I quit. Cold turkey. So far I've been so much more focused and for the first time in my life so far, I've managed to save money and keep it that way. Sobriety is the first step to getting better.
I just wanted to let you know how how courageous I think U R for taking on so many challenges of the self. Thanks for sharing, it helps me look deep into me!

Wow, wow, and wow again. I literally had an emotional breakdown last week. I ended up in the hospital for 6 days. When I came home I couldn't handle it. I literally came to the conclusion that I don't know how to live. Just live. When we think about what we need there are very few things we have to do. Like sleeping, breathing, eating, and moving. I don't get enough sleep, I don't take deep breaths, I barely eat, and I don't exercise. If I don't do the basic things to just exist, how can I do anything else well? It seems simple but, it really helped me find focus and a starting point for better health.
Said a little prayer for you! You got this
I can totally relate.
Thank you @thekeeks3032, I am working on things. I don't get enough sleep, I don't take enough deep breaths, I don't eat all day, I am a night eater, I don't exercise and I have two gym memberships and love music and dance. lots of love to you.. Be well and stay Beautiful♥

You underestimate the degree to which the government can insert themselves into a person's life and demoralise them intentionally manipulating relationships, cutting off their ability to earn money by control over companies bank accounts cards and the rest, canceling social status, creating artificial homelessness as a means to dispose of inconvenient individuals with opinions that the government would prefer to discredit.
If you don't believe this is happening that's very unfortunate but it's been going on for a long time and it's currently happening to me so, I thought I would share this information in the light that it might wake someone up a bit out of complacency.
The homeless problem is like the drug problem, billions of dollars of pumped into it and it creates vast amounts of money.. if that seems completely counterintuitive, it won't do in the next 15 to 20 years when more and more covert data becomes publicly available.
Your government can and do dispose of inconvenient types, who gets to actually interact with who and who gets to breed a family is actually very tightly controlled although it may not ever seen that way to you...
Who gets to be successful and who gets a career is also likewise very tightly controlled...
Who has access to the money machine and who doesn't likewise..
When you have sudden misfortune in your life it might be wise to consider the likelihood of it not being just some sort of chaotic series of events that couldn't have been predicted by anyone in certainly couldn't have been generated by anyone.
Even worse random things also happen, which just makes identifying which is which very difficult..
Now I'm sure you're going to take this as the ramblings of a paranoid delusional type but then it all seems like someone's delusional until it's happening to you, now you're the delusional homeless person why would anyone believe you your clothes look messy that's enough reason to be suspicious of someone.. you could be a professor but if you look like you eat out of garbage dumpsters who the hell is going to listen to a thing you've got to say...
The culture is likewise very carefully managed, The reliance upon image identity likewise not coincidental, just in case anyone gets too big for their boots you can always use the fact that they are too old and out of touch yes the age weapon that's the way it's useful to discredit individuals who've been around too long and got too comfortable...
You see the whole thing's a giant game on one level, if I can think of all of this garbage and it's even remotely implementable which of course it is deeply implementable with modern technology, how do you suppose in justify that someone wouldn't be doing all of this, worse they would be catastrophically vulnerable if they didn't... Because someone else would definitely be willing to...
Nothing in your world is quite how it seems, thank you lucky stars for what they've allowed you to have, you'll never know the truth until you find yourself at the very bottom of the pyramid, because it's only when you look up with true perspective that you really see everything clearly, but by then it's too late no one is going to listen to a word you've got to say anymore.
So yes we can talk about the drive but they know about that and remove it intentionally from people
I predict this series with Dr. Conti will be one of the most impactful you have done to date Dr. Huberman. Humanity desperately needs this information unveiled. Thank you both!
Wait, he is dating Dr. Conti?
This is really great information & quite informative,& if only more people today could get this in their mind.
Go within & get in tune with yourself & your headspace & get mentally stronger & healthy.
In my own life I always just wanted the best for my family & friends & others &
Every living thing in this Earth.
Love & gratitude & kindness & courtesy to each other are an excellent attribute & endeavor to have.
I believe this much to My very Core.
This proverbial sandbox herein Earth in this place is really big enough to have everyone gather & reach their goals & dreams.
There should be no hungry child no homeless people no body strung out in drugs alcohol or other crutches.
They are all just trying to numb & escape their reality of not achieving receiving & trying to do better & be the best versions of themselves.
Trust that I know this. The only thing I do now is try to be a better version of me today than I was yesterday & if I find a person in my path to pay it forward for, then I do just that.
It’s so simple,
yet why aren’t more people aware & doing this? I ask? I’m am an empathetic non judging humble being & only here for a short visit too.
I’m aware my time is short.
May you all reach your fullest potential purpose & self & realize you are worthy & Loved . &
that nothing fake or artificial in this World will really fill
Your sadness or emptiness or anything that you feel is lacking from within yourself. So Please, I beseech you all to try be honest with yourselves & go deep into your core & find the happiness love & care for yourself & others that we all collectively as Humanity, are here just to understand & Learn. & that alone too would be a huge improvement in This world.
When you give of yourself, the return to your very heart & Soul, may just astound you.
Just try it & see.

Dr. Huberman and Dr. Conti, what you have done here is nothing short of prayers answered, existential loneliness lessened, hope planted and encouraged actionable steps illustrated for a greater humanity. A profound thank you for this and the future parts of this series!
I am a Psychiatric Nurse and had shared your podcasts to my patients, I am really grateful that you did this, very informative and an excellent discussion with Dr. Conti!
God bless you. Not everyone can handle that profession
How wonderful and a super idea, I shared it with my son who suffers but many others could benefit too, sometimes sharing with others might be seen as insulting, guess you have to know your audience.
Dr Conti is Jordan Peterson s brother

Thank you for another wonderful session. As a psychologist, allow me to expand on your question regarding 'staying in a relationship longer than one should':
Our parents imprint on us what we come to recognize as love. If we had neglectful parents, we may be drawn to neglectful partners; an irresponsible parent may have left the impression that 'this is love,' leading us to seek out similar traits, even if we can't tolerate such behavior.
And yes, we can change our patterns. 😊
Great advice to add to this episode. Thank you.
oh wow 🙏🏻
Dr Huberman has made this point many times before and some of the guests too. It can also go the other way where we are attracted to the polar opposites. That's me. Cold, callous, uncaring mother, broken family, so I'm attracted to non-white, warm, kind, traditionally feminine women from big families.
Dr Conti, you are one of the most empathetic people I have been able to come across, the way you chose your words and speak with so much sensitivity but assertion it's truly moving... I haven't felt this much impacted with a series before thankyou Dr Huberman for bridging the education gap and making such important pieces of information open to everyone
I wanna be able to do that talk with sensitivity but assertion. I think a lot of conflicts start because most ppl don't know how to do this
❤
@@immanuelhall4577that's because people who act out are mentally unhealthy and tend to have unprocessed trauma that activates negative automatic thoughts and other cognitive distortions (catastrophising, grandiosity) that trigger the fight response. Having adult internal dynamic to process criticism without exploding is a definition of mental health. Being able to deliver criticism or your side in a good way is way to help the unhealthy person understand better and process their unprocessed trauma. In a way it's therapeutic to step in the role of constructive, assertive critique without attacking or overstepping boundaries. It brings peace to the society.
@@xKarenWalkerx How do you process trauma that leads to catastrophizing?
honestly to me it just sounds like hes yapping, it's difficult to understand what hes even talking about
Mr. Huberman, I want to thank you for this…I think this will change my life for the better. Since listening to you it brought me the strength to address and get my whole family mental help. I’ve also gained the strength to show up better as a brother to my three sisters and helping them with college, woman issues, and life. For myself, I feel like I am getting to a point where I think I can achieve what I want; because I have the tools to heal and reframe my mind. You saved my life; and if I ever get the opportunity Andrew I would break down and cry and give you a hug. I am a man that is not candid in this way. I also don’t cry often.
but I just cannot thank you enough sir.
Thank you so much
I hope you get the love and support, the compassion and kindness from the women you love (and others YOU LOVE). It is selfless and rewarding to help others (those who want their lives to be better WILL be helped by your love and support) but those who are truly empathic do need those who RECIPROCATE and support YOU when you need the kindness and love you give others. Please safeguard YOUR energy, your emotional well-being.
This week, I will delve into the study of health from the perspective of 'Awareness of Love.' May it provide additional knowledge and answers to life's questions. Thank you.😊
May I suggest the 4th Edition of all PhD authored Roediger, Herman, Capaldi Psychology text to credit where PhD Huberman extrapolated many evolutionary theories and practices…
Dr Huberman,
I so very much hope you read this. You've deeply affected my life, and I mean given me the tools to improve it in so many ways. I've been listening to your podcast lectures from day one, and without question this episode and the 3 more to come with Paul Conti may be for many people and certainly for me the best thing ever on the internet. This will save lives, improve lives, improve society, and make a better world. Dear God, do i ever have you and Paul Conti, along with dozens of your other guests, on my forever gratitude list! Please keep doing this incredibly important work.

Take note I live in Arkansas, grew up in Chicago but have been here 25 years, Rural states don't have access to the level of clinician you present and I absolutely can't shout loud enough how precious and priceless your quality scientific information pesented with an earnest desire to help people truly is. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I apologize for this being so long, but I needed to thank you for how much this podcast has meant to me. 🙏
Nice comment. Best wishes.
And thanks Dr Huberman
I'm a big fan of Dr Huberman, and have been for ages, but how have I not heard of Dr Conti before? This man is a philosopher, a true scholar! Thank you for your awareness 🙏❤️A great meeting of minds! What a show!!! 🤩
Philosophers give speeches with no answers, scholars read the same books over and over and forget what they've read
🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉 beautiful❤🎉
Dr, Conti shared so much depth in this podcast and there is a lot to unpack. That's 10 years of therapy in a bottle every one needs to hear this at least 10 times to absorb this information .
Just wanted to express my gratitude for your podcasts! I had to put my 16 year old dog to sleep a couple days ago, I am a veterinarian and had to do it myself which made it quite intense. Listening to your work has given me some emotional relief on long runs throughout this grieving process, I hope her spirit crosses Costello’s 😌
Edit: thank you all for your beautiful responses, feeling overwhelmed with gratitude for this wonderful community 💜
My dog is my best friend. We have been together everyday for almost 10 years. I've had one of her eyes rebuilt, she really is my everything.
I have been there before and I know I will be there again with this pet. I'm truly sorry for your loss.
I want to tell you that you did the right thing. I have to trust your judgment as a loving owner and a trained professional, so I am.
Nothing about you could tell me that you love your animals any more. I'll give my dog a hug for you and send it through the ether...may peace be with you.
I had my 16 year old put down three years ago and I still miss her so much! I’m sorry for your loss.
@@nancyjohnson2187 Sorry to you as well, you must have taken amazing care of her to have made it to 16!! 💜
My gal was 16.5yo and it was just this past May, that she needed help passing along.
I wish I could have done it at home but did take her body back home with us so that we could do our ceremonies and have more time with her in that stilled quiet state.
She was with me since she was 2mths old and was the being that was in my life the longest. Longer than my being with my parents and longer than my child, who ventured on his own the same age I did.
She is still a constant companion in the energetic ether and that brings me tremendous comfort. But I cry everyday tears of love and gratefulness for the joy she brought to me but also tears of mourning.
Losing pets has always been hard for me but this one really has impacted me in ways I am still coming to terms with.
I look forward to the next canine beast who will fill the hole in my being. My dog really did make me a better human.
My best to all those who have loved a dog and those that will lose them too.
What breed?
Just saw Dr. Huberman live a few days ago. It was incredible. He is so humble and adored by many!
This podcast just saved my life. I ruined 2 relationships and 1 career and was so sad and confused as to why it happened again despite me being aware of why it happened. And this podcast has helped me to find the root cause, understand myself and move forward with better life perspective. Although i’m still grieving for my loss, I felt so much better due to being able to make sense of everything.
Can you explain ur story ?
@@galvannarek i try my best to make it short. i lost all those 3 things due to my anger issues. this podcast made me realize i used unhealthy defense mechanism such as projection against people i love / coworkers. when traced back, i had so many incorrect predispositions. this podcast gave me the understanding on why i acted in such way and how i'm supposed to focus on having a good life perspective and take accountability as opposed to distracting myself with pleasure and end up approaching life the wrong way. basically my pain is taken away when i understand how i'm supposed to view life and now i'm currently in progress of making gradual change of mindset.
You are a pioneer of taking complex subjects, and delivering it in Laymans terms that most everyone can understand. Such a crucial subject to discuss in a World 🌎 like today. We all need it. Grateful. Ty

you can do it
KUDOS to you, @jk7jester: My mom taught me, when i was very little, that donations of apparent great generosity is not necessarily what they seem on the surface: ie unselfish and truely altruistic.. I had commented, effusively, on how "generous" it was that a very wealthy person VERY PUBLICALLY gave monies to Cancer research. The radio DJ had repeatedly praised this action with excessive verbiage, attributing to this man great sacrifice and humility. She quietly asked if the amount gifted was, to that individual, actually "generous" or might they have ulterior motives? She pointed out that the amount of money (though extravagant to our household income) was in truth, very little given that person's wealth. Granted, it is arguably better to donate such monies to a charity (publicly or not) than to waste it....but...she posited that he was RECIEIVNG a multitude of PUBLIC attention and applause (given the fact he did so very publicly) and he would no doubt be giving these monies for the tax break, as such donations are tax deductible here. She asked me to estimate the percentage of the gift, compared to his wealth, and compare that amount to the percentage of a smaller donation from someone who TRULY CAN NOT AFFORD TO GIVE more than a "relatively small amount". She enlightened me to the fact that (in comparison) the $50.00 that many of our VERY POOR neighbours donated when she canvassed on behalf of the charity was in truth far more generous. They also did so without any fanfare or publicity, yet still they gave. GENEROUSLY and ALTRUISTICALLY. She did not point it out, but I asked was this why she gave so unselfishly of her TIME as we could truly NOT spare even a few dollars to support this [and other charities] such as the SPCA which were cause(s) she believed in? My mom devoted many evenings to this task, despite a working day which began prior to dawn, work which was physically and mentally demanding and relentless throughout the entire day, well into the evening. When I was married, I tried to talk my husbter into donating monies to the BC Children's Hospital (which had helped my/our eldest son since infancy) and he REFUSED, claiming we "could not afford it". AFTER he left we three, I donated weekly small amounts of my much smaller income to that very charity. I felt GRATITUDE that we had not lost our home and were not actually starving...so each time I shopped for groceries, I HELD BACK AT LEAST ONE "luxury" item that we REALLY WANTED (such as processed foods) at the till, and donated THAT amount to the Hospital. Also, many times I bought one of the non perishable high value foods recommended by the Food Bank as being MOST NEEDED and paid for TWO such items, placing one in the bin (to help those less fortunate than ourselves) as we left the store. I then integrated the new items into our weekly meal planning. THEREAFTER, I went straight home and after the groceries were stashed, made my kids MUCH CHEAPER HOMEMADE cookies or pies to reward them for their UNSELFISHNESS. I think it's wonderful to give what you can
Dude, this video is like a goldmine of wisdom that can seriously change your life! The way the teacher breaks down stuff is eye-opening. It's like a roadmap to a better you, shining a light on how to live your best life.
What did you find wise? I’m about half way through and I don’t think I’m going to be able to finish. I’m a huge fan of the HLP, and I enjoy reading the psychoanalysists …but this guy is just the worst of all these relating fields.

Wow and you make it sound so scary, and Alex please please please why do you look like your tweeking out, I’m a fan and I’m concerned,
I know this is a loaded concept (what we teach in schools) but I do wish they’d have a curriculum that included how to deal with emotions and cope in the world. Parents try their best but we are the results of multiple generations- including the good, bad and inbtwn. As a clinician myself, and someone who is still learning to understand my emotions and live well with them, I find society as a whole could benefit from accessible tools to cope. Even when I worked in acute pain management, the majority of my patients had an inability to cope that was as hindering as their physical pain. I appreciate podcasts and platforms such as this as it creates a bridge to all of us being better able to understand and cope. 🙏 keep it up!
This comment x 1000! Totally agree
@@davidrichardson7966 🙏
I agree with this, and many countries already include this. Unfortunately, teaching empathy, emotional insight, care, love, etc. has been included in the "anti-woke" agenda of extremist groups and is now targeted in the United States. It is unfortunate because it's not like we are missing the knowledge. What we're missing is the social structure, institutions, and systems to spread it.
It's a loaded concept because people don't really want to teach the next generation what is actually healthy for them, they want to brainwash them into thinking the same as them, no matter which side of the "concepts" they are on. A true curriculum could be developed which is totally none political, but that wouldn't suit the agenda of the powers that be. Students that can cope with the stressors of life could also think for themselves, not really the agenda of the public school system, which is to produce a compliant work force for the future and nothing beyond that.
Dear Dr. Huberman, I have been listening to you for the last 3 years and am very happy with your current success and reach. You are one of the very few grown-ups in the room (I won't name names of who isn't, yet purport to be). Your calmness, consistency, and intelligence are a much needed balm in today's crazy world. You have a clear love and respect for science while keeping an open mind, and you acknowledge there are many things you don't know. I hope you don't let success get to your head and always stay self-aware and unbiased in your thinking and approach. Thank you for the work you are doing.
The three keys are self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-support. These are the best terms for summing up emotional sobriety.
Mental health is such a big issue in life. We need to teach this more. Superficial content is not going to cut it.
Glad hubberman is doing the lord's work
Yes is true😊
When there are too many stressors it makes is pretty difficult to remain mentally healthy. I live in the city, hopefully I can get out soon. My backyard is lit up with LED lighting from the street and I can hear the freeway, always. My city is growing so fast that where ever I drive there is construction and drab row housing and strip malls are all I see. The beautiful mountains I would look upon to orient myself now have huge mansions built into them. Though I am out doors on my street often there are neighbors I have not met once that live on my street. I do try daily to be grateful for what I do have but sometimes I do not believe the stressors we are put under are conducive for health, yet there they are. Maybe the new "Line" they are creating will be better? I am going to listen to the whole talk but at 4 hours I am going to need to break it up some. I am hopeful that it will help with my discouragement of my surroundings.
I've just started watching. When I started taking an SSRI I could feel the difference between happy and unhappy and this difference is grattitude. I've never been so grateful to this worrld and to my life. It's incredible. I knew I had to be grateful before but couldn't feel it
Can I ask which SSRI you are taking? I'm currently between meds and would love a recommendation.
@kanzikanz138 Due yew wand tu doo but secks ?
@@Marcspix. Hi! I am taking citalopram, but I cannot recommend it, it has been prescribed by my medical doctor because it's combinable with other medicine that I have to take. It has been prescribed because I have a mental disorder that wasn't allowing me to consistently perform all the daily actions I love and that are actually making me happy and grateful 😊
My experience was the opposite of yours. Citalopram took away all joy and most other emotions in my life with the exception of the anxiety it was supposed to help 😔
Awesome...and welcome!😊
This podcast is like a summation of a lot of what I’ve had to work through and has provided me with much closure of my past life. How refreshing it is to hear professionals discussing what I basically had to work through on my own as I could not find the appropriate help to heal my full blown traumatic past…This podcast has not only given me much closure but has also contributed to the cementing of my amazing resilience in remaining alive, aware, strong and hopeful….( I should be so very dead long time ago ). It’s nothing short of a miracle that in spite of ALL the excessive abuse and trauma, that my CHILD LIKE SPIRITED NATURE IS ALIVE, WELL and STILL IN ITS AUTHENTIC STATE. THE fact that I’m able to understand all that was discussed blows me away as my health was grossly NEGLECTED.

Mental health is complicated and access to effective care is limited for so many of us. Thank you for being a trusted resource.
❤As a person with weekly therapy for over 30 years and (also an Emergency Medicine physician) You should be knighted or sainted or put on Mt. Rushmore! Thank you for your motivation and for sharing such beautiful and valuable information.
R u talking about Conti or huberman??,
As a mental health psychotherapist working in an underfunded and over stretched service, I would like to say how much I appreciate the work and dedication to bring top class and brilliantly presented information to the public. I know I can trust the evidenced information I hear and I am able to use it for my own self-care and for my clients. Dr. Paul Conti is a role model to me and I am delighted and excited about this series. Thank you and your teams so much.
Huberman is one of God’s many gifts to the world. Thank you for your service.
Now that's what we call No BS & Pure Value for 4 hrs straight. Dr. Andrew Huberman you never disappoint us❤
Dr. Paul Conti is very well knowledgable to mental health. He has provocative insights that comes from a true butterfly in the wall. He strips everything bare to the lowest layer of knowledge.
I cannot thank you enough for this series with Dr. Conti. Makes me feel like I’m not faulty and gives me such insight into myself and others that is just beyond any gratitude I can give! Thank you to you both!!!! 💞💞💞
I am a person who had continual childhood trauma and I’ve been working on myself for a long time but I still struggle with socializing in the work situation and with people I know more than strangers. I struggle to say hi or good morning or look people in the eye when I walk by and I’ve worked here over 7 years. And then I feel like if I were to try and change this, it would draw even more attention to me since that’s not really me. Listening to this though makes me feel like being me is ok. Doesn’t mean I can’t improve on things but I don’t need to beat myself up so much.
Beating yourself up in any way is not recommended. We must encourage ourselves and be our own cheerleaders... From that mindset, the greatest outcome is possible.
Shaming and blaming ourselves only hinders us. Absolutely be gentle with yourself and "just keep swimming" ❤
@@Jean-xo3hl very true. Unfortunately logic doesn’t always fix things lol
The bit about demoralization gave language to an experience I’ve been blindly grappling with for years. That bit alone is so valuable to me, and has given me access to a deeper understanding of my own drive and ever-toiling effort to self express. you both deserve reminding that the words you share have significant, life-altering, profound impacts on those listening in. Thank you thank you thank you!!!♥️✨♥️✨♥️
This is insane… I am sooooo happy that you are speaking up on this!!! About 3 weeks ago, I had to go stay with a couple different households when my air went out (Thank God for amazing family and friends). When I was there, it was the eye opening experience I needed to get my butt in gear. I currently have a very dysfunctional/unstructured house at home but after watching these other families function happily together as a unit, it opened my eyes up to what we need to be doing at home in order to help us with our mental health which will lead us to become happier and more functioning humans. Agency and gratitude. Wow! 🤯 It’s finally clicking!!!!
Can you share anything specific you learned or noticed?
I loved that Dr. Conti talked about gardening. Gardening is simple and beautiful. It made me realize that the simple things I do well are important too because sometimes I don't think I do things that matter much. Thanks!
Dr Conti is an intelligent and compassionate person. Thank you both for this conversation.❤
Honestly, mental health represents the pinnacle of both art and science. It's incredibly intricate, and I admire Huberman's humility in tackling such a daunting subject.
Practicing in this field can be challenging and uncomfortable, yet simultaneously both difficult and accessible. It transcends traditional scientific boundaries and mirrors the intricacies of our minds. While it's a rewarding discipline, it requires resilience.
Understanding the structure and function of the self provides a powerful framework for grappling with the complexities of the mind. Many thanks to Dr. Conti for shedding light on this topic.
It appears that delving into the science and healing of the mind is akin to a divine undertaking, positioned at the forefront of both science and medicine. It's a discipline that demands both extreme rationality, akin to Huberman's approach, and profound intuition, reminiscent of an artist's sensibility.
Engaging with the full spectrum of human experiences is essential in this field, making it simultaneously challenging and immensely fulfilling. However, psychiatry, operating beyond strict scientific confines and blending wisdom with science, requires substantial mental resources to practice effectively. It's unfortunate that psychiatrists often don't receive the recognition they deserve within the medical community, considering they work with the most delicate and crucial aspect of humanity: the mind. Indeed, the practice of psychiatry is closest to playing God, necessitating caution and care. Imagine the weight of attempting to heal someone from their inner demons - it's truly remarkable.
I'm really excited to work through this series. It will not be an easy ride, but it will be necessary.
Love the Rammstein pic ;)

I am 71 years old..youngest of six…Cptsd from raging dad…three rowdy..fighting brothers..I just recently finished seven Ketamine infusions, at a wonderful place..I had MDD …it took my depression away, but now I need to work on the Cptsd…I have found a great lady with videos, with a crappy childhood..I am starting a group workshop for six weeks.

Confidence is the ability to dissolve into a puddle of your own tears, even publicly, and not be thrown away by the experience because every day, even every hour, is a brand new time for you as if the breakdowns not only didn't hurt you, but you became even more confident as a result.
I first came across Andrew's podcasts when I was looking for information about low lumens at work. Our office had lighting at 70 lumens and I needed information on why that was affecting my work. Dr. Huberman's earlier work talks about ophthalmic neuroscience. I saw the well-organized sharing of information as a model that could help me learn to be a better communicator and learn about myself and others. I just want to say thank you.
The recipicle part of giving/receiving Life Information/therapy(kinda) is what I just went through today.
I always have before..... only now, it will be by my design
And God willing, and he is, we'll all keep helping each other get better
And what happened with your whole lighting situation at work?
that's what i want to know
Hey Andrew, I’ve been listening to your podcasts since my mother passed away a few months ago. You’ve helped me stay mentally and physically healthy through the grieving process and I wanted to write a comment to say thank you. Also, I would love it if you could do an episode on epilepsy, I grew up with temporal lobe epilepsy and I’ve found that there are lots of common misconceptions about seizures.
The sincerity of your gratitude towards the Huberman, and the intense grief are experiencing (and processing) resonates with such emotion that it brought me to tears. I'm so glad you have been listening to the podcasts, as there is so much help therein.
Nice comment sorry for your loss glad Hubermans pods help you they helped me when I couldn't sleep I looked for ward to them every Monday when I was going thru some things. If you don't mind could you clear up some misconceptions about seizures? I've only had one due to brain trauma but one bad piece of advice I've heard is how to handle dealing with someone who has them such as put a wallet or something in their mouth... in my 20s I was told that has been proven the incorrect way of dealing with it as a kid people said use a wallet or something
Yes! Please Andrew!! Definitely an episode on epilepsy and specific key questions about this disorder and the most healthy version we can achieve with epilepsy. The challenge con medicine side effects and the hard interactions we might have with people who don't completely understand.
@@Respect2theFallen there are several misconceptions about what a seizure is, what it looks like, what causes it, what to do when someone is having a seizure, and what society thinks of people with epilepsy. Kind of a lot to address in one YT comment, but in short not all seizures have convulsions. Not all seizures are triggered by flashing lights. When someone is having a seizure make sure they don’t fall, help them gently onto the ground and lay them on their side, other than that give them space. Lots of epileptics aren’t all that different than everyone else in terms of personality or capability, we just have the additional mental and sometimes physical stress of dealing with a disability
Can u do a podcast on autism as appears to be an increase in children being diagnosed with this condition in Ireland where I am and no really suitable available treatment and guidance for parents apart from the medical model ..greattings and thank u for you're gift of knowledge to the world Dr Huberman ..
I might have learned way more of this three hours podcast than I did from thirteen years of therapy, thanks !
Same
Ditto
ya think
Dr Pinsky explained that the goal of therapy is to build an empathic relationship with the therapist, so that you can trust, share, grow and overcome issues in relationships. It takes time to build an empathic relationship, it is not transactional like A) listen to this explanation and definition of terms, B) you are now changed for the better.
Many patients lie to their therapist, some are embarrassed about how bad or petty they might sound, some are protecting not willing to open wounds, scared what might happen if they were wrong all this time, etc. Therapy is complicated for sure.

I love that Dr. Conti addressed the reductionist attitude of some doctors, how they throw pills at a problem without even bothering to understand why it's happening. So glad to hear someone in the field pointing that out! Bravo!
Dr. Conti, you are a gem. I want you to know how much these conversations impact those [me] who are struggling. Thank You so much. I see you, thank you.
Dr. Huberman, I mean, you are a wonderful example of…pursuit, drive, and put into action, the life you want to lead~such an important lesson but also, an important reminder. I appreciate that so much. Thank you.
Blessings Gentlemen. The information you speak, is f ing golden.
His ability to keep his hands under the table/still is unparalleled by people not under arrest. ✨
It's scary!
He might not use his hands, but he has the crutch of saying "right".
This is what the net is for. A really practical lecture, highly enjoyable so much exellent information and now available for all on this platform. True knowledge. Available for all. THANK YOU YOUNG MAN
Humbling topic to take in about one's self but mental health is profoundly significant to all human beings
"Empowerment leads to a sense of agency." - Paul Conti. Brilliant!
I loved this series it's really helped me figure out how to think of myself as well as how to think of other people and what they say or do. I have to say my mental health and relationships with others have improved quite significantly since the series came out
I love that Dr. Huberman always comes up with examples from his personal life when asking questions. It all becomes so easy to understand and follow and it’s so interesting because of that (and also, because of all the great topics and great guests ofc) 👏🏻
Agency + gratitude = a healthy self ❤ 10:31
Thank you both for this episode🙏🏽❤️
Dr Conti is the real deal man. You've been cranking the vids out lately I swear
I've watched this series so many times, and every time a new pearl of wisdom comes to me. It's one of my favorites. I love LOVE Dr. Conti, his gentleness and knowledge are beyond but his super power is the simplicity in how he explains everything.
Andrew, this has been so EXTREMELY informative and inspiring. I have literally listened to this 4 TIMES just so I can LEARN more about how to assist one’s Mental Health and maintain Mental Wellness. This is TOTALLY filled with so many Golden Gems of Wisdom & Knowledge. I am so Grateful for your Passion and Perseverance to continue to share all that you know and your Dedication to continue to Grow Awareness about the Brain and Behavioral Science. Reach One, TEACH One; you’ve definitely Reached ME! To the Spirit of LIVING! Tiff
“Envy may be the root of all evil.” This is profound.
You might find it interesting to look up René Girard.
He actually said " envy may not be the root of all evil but envy and natural disasters".
Not accurate.
Ignorance is.
@@primodiscepolopingu373 aren't there smart evil people?
I've been waiting for this series to start since the last time Prof Huberman was on Lex's Podcast
I started living this way 10yrs ago and it’s been amazing but very difficult to maintain when I was around people who don’t understand this concept and way of life.. I maintain agency of my self care and gratitude towards growth… this is the cheat code to a very peaceful life style
Agency relies upon empowerment and Gratitude relies upon humility🙌 That alone is golden contemplative info! Thank you both for this enriching discussion. ❤Huberman does it again!
Okay, but how do we get to humility and empowerment?
Pray it all time without ceasing. Gody Praise is sufficient for all times and actions ✝️❤️🔥🎯🛐
Thanks for the spot-on questions! I actually started a gratitude journal since two weeks already, and after every section I ask myself, what are the actions I could take to be feeling calm, loved, safe and powerful when I’m in a not-stimulated state, alone by myself. I called it the ActionPlanner ;) . It really helped me stay focused and start my day with a positive energy despite some really hard issues I’m going through right now. Again, thanks for the amazing content! 🤗
This is why I love practicing psychiatry!! These conversations literally make me happy and are why I will never (unless I have to) work outside of private practice, because I can’t do a 3 hour psych evaluation, do weekly therapy for as long as is needed, and spend the time necessary to find out what’s in the boxes. These conversations energize me so much.
😀😀😀😀😀😀
How unique! I have always felt that one hour sessions are way too short! Also impressed you actually practice psychiatry instead of just medicating. You obviously are a caring doctor!
@@miriamalonso3959 Thank you! I love it.
@miriamalonso3959
I think you missed the verrrrry keeey word, *'can't'*, in her comment.
Really, they *"literally"* make you happy?
What, as opposed to *figuratively* make you happy??🙄🙄🙄
Just curious, are you an APRN, as opposed to a psychiatrist with an MD?
Just wanted to express my gratitude for coming across your podcast and the time and energy that you put into it! This whole series with Dr. Conti gave me so much insight and I loved listening to it.
Thank you again for your work ❤
Thank you so much for this Dr. Huberman and Dr. Conti. I am eagerly awaiting the rest of the series. GENERATIVE DRIVE!!!
I’ve listened to the first hour and a half of this episode. While it’s a very interesting discussion, all I hear is information that is abstract and intangible. I believe that simplicity is key. Concrete examples and exercises are necessary in order to effect change.
Thank you both for dedicating your existence to the genuine desires to help others. I can tell that your desire to help others is greater than the desire to become rich from helping others. I’m so grateful that I stumbled upon such humans in my search for learning about the self .
Him and Jordan Peterson are my two top gems of the social and hard sides of the same coin of the science and understanding of the mind
Thank you so much for this podcast. I’m struggling from a trauma that occurred when I was a kid. Recently, I was in therapy where emdr was used. From that moment, things got even worse because i found out that I haven’t had any control in my emotions. My relationship came to an end because i was overthinking all negative thoughts about our relationship and alcohol made it even worse. I am going to go to another therapist who will give me the right tools to rediscover myself and to control my emotions. Your podcast made me decide this and find out what needs to be done to heal
Direct and brilliant dissertation, I can appreciate the diligence it takes to reach that level of stability.
As a current psychiatry resident physician, Dr. Conti's perspectives on mental health and the management of psychopathology is so far removed from the way I am being taught (read: forced) to practice in my training program. I hope to do a lot of my own training and professional development after residency when I can pay for courses and the like, but it is so beyond frustrating that I first have to go through four years of learning bad habits I will have to unlearn first. Anyway, thank you for this series, both of you! I haven't had a chance to listen to the full video because 4 hours are hard to find as a resident lol, but I will be chipping away at watching the whole series.
You can speed to 1.5 times 1.75 times and even 2 times the speed- setting- playback speed
Thank you for going through the crap you have to go through in order to come back and practice from Dr. Conti's perspective and I wish you didn't have to go through all that outdated and frustrating muck and mire to become the excellent practioner I'm sure you will become. We need you in this world.
It's good to hear a current student understanding that what they train you to do and what is most helpful are often two different things. You may take some comfort knowing this has been the case from inception, all medical/health professionals and educators experience a varying degree of this in their education and training . Get your degree and licensure and then branch out on your own and follow your heart and gut. Following your new path will lead you in the right direction and away from the old. I don't think you'll really have to spend much time unlearning the useless....It will fall to the wayside just as it should. Good Luck in your profession.
I could listen to Dr. Conti for hours, so insightful and helpful!
The podcast is over 3, enjoy
Best discussion yet for me. Thank you docs for your expertise, and for explaining all of this complexity with humility and kindness. Much much appreciated
I have been seeking understanding and articulating my pleasure drive for a long while. It was perfectly explained in Dr Conti’s statement “it’s a drive for relief”. Thank you for explaining from so many perspectives.
Just purchased "Trauma" by Dr. Conti. Can't wait to read. Thanks for this Dr. Huberman!!! Absolutely amazing episode.
I think this is literally the best video in the whole channel, I love just how profound and humane the conversation here is displayed between Paul Conti and Huberman
There’s just a such strong desire of goodness coming from both in this episode
So true
Right!
😅
Wow. This interview is so dense with information and wisdom that it's like a block of granite. Thank you for making this available.
Guess you better get your chisel out😅
as a 34yo, sufferer since 14, listening to an educated person on the topic is so fascinating, the links they can create and reasons behind things etc, the understanding they have, really is amazing.
You should look into TCM. Having studied Chinese medicine for 30 years I can honestly tell you this conversation was about as enlightening as listening to apes write music by banging rocks together. Listening to their Freudian explanations of drive theory for an hour straight made me want to tear my hair out. I'd be more explicit here but I really don't want to be rude, it's just the classic tool use fallacy: when all you have is a hammer, the whole universe is made of nails.
@@johncaccioppo1142 you should respect some people are not as far along the journey as you, great if you've gone direct to source and didn't need this, but it will help some. some who aren't aware of their issues etc. I'm sure TCM is supremely beneficial, but bit vague of you, for how damning you've been on the video to simply say TCM.. yeah ok thanks???
@@moulinyan Your criticism is entirely valid. I was only listening to this interview because I fell asleep with the computer on and was deeply annoyed by it in my sleep as it played random videos.
That's MY fault, and I apologize for being catty.
As to TCM, that's also my journey. If I recommend acupuncture or herbs it doesn't mean you can easily find a good doctor, but the first time I tried it, it saved my life, so I started to study it seriously and it changed the way I look at my health and reality in general.
Pretty much everything the US medical system does is abusive and ineffective and I do my best to avoid typical hospitals and clinics with plenty of bad experiences to remind me to stay healthy.
@@johncaccioppo1142 i live in the UK and it is the same. i now laugh at GPs and do not trust. they read from a book and often give bad advice, they chuck medication at medical illness, something i have discovered can be fixed through wellbeing, stretching, releasing muscle tensions, and then correcting your breathing pattern, furthermore, by listening to philosophers such as ram dass and alan watts talk about the way of life to give a different perspective and escape the programming of the western world. it all boils down to a choice, but most do not suffer enough to break free or simply dont have time to focus on it with children, work or something else. they turn to alcohol just a glass a night even and slowly get more and more agitated which even leads to divorce etc.
the main issue is people believing the voice they hear in their head, the egoic voice, the one that creates negativity and spirals, thinking about the past or future, too much thinking and worrying. the whole be here now movement fixes everything. but most people are so easily offset it's hard, but as Ram says, give it up again do not wallow in self pity. Do not cling to things, it creates suffering, as Alan talks about, you trust your heart to beat, or your thyroid gland to do things on its own. Breathing is curious as you can control it or allow it do it itself, like a good business manager, the delegation of responsibility.
the underlying message of fear and love really is all you need, choose love, spread kindness, treat people as god, we are all god, give them your entire focus, engage with them, do not get caught up in anything which can disturb your peace. of course for me it's a much more major thing than it is for most people as it consumed me for a long time, but this is the way to happiness. be as happy for others are you can be for yourself. the mind is a powerful thing, unfortunately society has dictated many people go off track and lose the reason we are here.
as for you, you shouldn't get involved in the negativity, your ego is speaking there, you see this and realise you know better and still feel the need to say something. take a breathe and say it in a different way. without the negativity, ''interesting video, but for me i've found x y z are of equal if not more importance and i recommend investigating'' etc
Andrew- you just endured an indepth, heavy-duty analysis by the good Doctor for a sub four hour session.
Your guest is fascinating....and you handled it with aplomb and sincerity.
Great combo-
Thank you... great show.
Thank you so much for having Dr. Paul Conti again, he's been helping me so much with processing and improving my life in real time ❤❤
Agency.gratitude.empowerment.humility .these four words for the best selves .thanks Dr.Conti and Dr.H
Thank you, Andrew. You honestly might be the first man I’ve ever heard talk about health in terms of what we might be capable of doing, or of different health markers, rather than it being just based on BMI. Very refreshing to hear body positivity from a guy. Thank you!!
BMI is a starting point, the reason to investigate further. Humans do get serious metabolic stress from excess fat . I remember rationalizations like "just big boned", or its cold so i need insulation or I feel more powerfull in this big size. We see ad campaigns about "just love your body size regardless", while we have an Obesity Epidemic that is crippling the US health care & welfare systems. 50% of US kids are now in prediabtes. I'm concerned for us/US, I cannot assign it to males having over expectations of females.
BMI is actually NOT a good starting point, as it is steeped in misinformation and unbalanced/faulty research. My heart is as healthy as someone 100 lbs lighter than myself, but since people are not walking echocardiograms, they don’t see the health markers of other people. I also got back from a trip recently and the amount we walked in a week was well over 40 miles as clocked by my Fitbit. The only issue I had was with my feet, and it’s an issue unrelated to weight. Telling overweight people to “just lose weight” is, to me, the same attitude as telling a person dealing with clinical depression to “just get happy”, as if that’s (gasp) never something we’ve tried to do. Health is something that can be attained at any size.
Also how is obesity “crippling the US health care and welfare systems”, exactly? Maybe those systems were already in need of fixing without blaming it on fat. people
@@kamihayes5147 Stop blaming charts designed to start the discussion, what better starting point to hang on a doctor's wall. Long term Health is not likely with obesity. Morbid obesity is named that for a reason. Look at blue zone people's BMIs and do research before blaming a wall chart for the US diabesity / metabolic disease epidemic.These are already the majority of healthcare expenditures. Those collecting disability welfare are often from the same preventable diseases. If you want to use one anecdotal trip to disprove US medical knowlege you don't understand science and logic. US corporations have hacked processed food to hook you on sugar salt fat dopamine releases combinations to keep you eating more. But you can get diet and weight under control, it starts with acknowledgement of the problem, then putting something better in the shopping cart. Turn anger into action.
So, well adjusted mental health if far more complex than just having "agency and gratitude" (as we all are well aware). Thank you Dr. Huberman for once again drawing out the details and paraphrasing the concepts in terms anyone can follow and understand. It is a true gift. I love how you are able to do this with every person you interview.
As a therapist, I was really looking forward to this one! Thank you!
Me too.
There's no amount of words that can be written as appreciation towards what both you Mr Hubberman and doctor Conti have shared.
Nobody is the same, and experiences and trauma may differ...... But with the knowledge yourll share, it gives a person the tools to fight there own battles.
Much appreciation and respect.
Thank you
Hubberman...? Lol
I’ve been struggling to understand myself better for many years. Thousands of self improvement videos haven’t done what you’ve done in this video. Thank you both
