Moment 174: Trauma Doctor Reveals Every Type Of Trauma & It’s Effects In 10 Minutes Aug 09, 2024

Show notes

In this moment, world-renowned trauma expert, Paul Conti discusses the different forms that trauma can take.

Paul defines trauma as anything that overwhelms your coping mechanisms, which in turn changes the structure of your brain.

Trauma can be broken down into 3 types: acute, chronic, or vicarious.

Acute is a very evident type of trauma, and the one most people think of, this includes PTSD. Chronic trauma occurs over a longer period of time, and includes racism, bullying and neglect. Finally, vicarious trauma is the trauma people can get due to empathising with another person’s trauma and feeling their pain.

Paul also outlines the hypothesis of ‘multiple hit’ trauma. This is the idea that after multiple traumas it can became too much for a person to cope with, and even a small trauma can then push a person over the edge. This hypothesis completely disproves the idea that what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.

Moment 172: 5 Body Language Rules To Read Anyone INSTANTLY!: Robert Greene Jul 26, 2024

Show notes

In this moment with best-selling author and world renowned thinker Robert Greene, he discusses the importance of body language and nonverbal communication. Robert says this form of communication is one that you cannot lie about, as we have a deeply rooted human and emotional response to it. Body language isn’t just one subtle gesture, but hundreds of different small signs, from a look, a gesture, to the complete vibe a person gives off. Even when people try to fake their body language, a good observer can always tell, from someone looking you in the eye but with their mind elsewhere, a tone of voice that reveals a persons lack of confidence, to a fake smile that is proven false compared to a genuine smile. Sometimes the clearest reveal is the micro expression someone unwillingly shows in the fraction of a second before they put on the act of who they want to appear to be.
