Even parts of us filled with hatred, addiction, or self-loathing deserve compassion because they serve a purpose. When a child's needs aren't met or they are hurt, they unconsciously make one of two assumptions: either the world is terrible and they are alone, or there is something wrong with them and it's their fault. The latter is the safer assumption for the child, as it provides a sense of control. Assuming the world is dangerous is unbearable. Turning anger against oneself is also safer than being angry with one's parents, especially at a young age.

Vultures profit from the confusion they intentionally create in innocent kids' minds. They use puberty blockers, which are also given to sex offenders, to chemically castrate them. Many kids undergo surgeries like double mastectomies before turning 18. Children in identity crisis need love and guidance, not hormone injections and scalpels. Adults must protect our kids because their silence makes them complicit in what's happening. The media blindly accepts the medical establishment's claim that castrating a child is life-saving care without questioning it. We must protect our kids.

My father sexually abused me from a young age, causing me to develop dissociative identity disorder. This disorder allowed me to compartmentalize the abuse and function normally. The government recognized this as an opportunity to hide secrets and began grooming me. My father's abuse escalated to child pornography, which was discovered and confiscated. A local politician offered my father immunity if he sold me into the CIA's MK Ultra Project Monarch. This project used psychology, neuroscience, trauma, and occult rituals to create alter personas in victims. I was subjected to a horrific blood ritual called the "right to remain silent," which allowed them to manipulate my mind through hypnotic language and neuro linguistic programming. They replaced the triggering mechanism with hypnotic codes, keys, triggers, hand signals, and phone tones.

The speaker discusses how trauma and addiction impact brain function, specifically noting changes in five brain areas. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, or "bridge of the ship," which handles executive functions like organization, goal setting, and moral values, becomes inactive during trauma. This is because the amygdala, or "emotional spray paint," activates the fight-or-flight response, prioritizing survival over moral considerations. The speaker claims that the nervous system shifts between fight-or-flight and shutdown, creating a "trauma feedback loop" where addictions thrive. This explains why people may act against their values when in survival mode, and understanding this process is important for healing shame.

Gabriel, an eight-year-old boy, described a pattern of abuse connected to his father, teachers, and other adults associated with his school and his family’s extended network. The interview centers on two main settings where the abuse occurred: a swimming pool in East Finchley and a school-related party, plus earlier incidents at home and with other adults. People involved - Gabriel and his family: His mother, known as Mama; his caregiver “Papa Hemp” (an adult referred to as Abraham who is described as Gabriel’s father figure and also as a father to him and his sister); his sister Emmy; his nanny Galina (also called Galina or Galina, Ukrainian/Russian family member who helps with cooking and housekeeping); other relatives such as Gabriel’s grandparents, including a Russian grandmother who lives outside England; a variety of named and unnamed extended family members. - Gabriel’s primary caregivers and household: Mama (the mother who is described as kind and supportive, who cooks, cleans, does juices, and provides money); Papa Hemp (the man Gabriel calls “dad” who does hemp juices and spends money on luxury items for Gabriel); Galina (the nanny, Ukrainian/Russian, who helps with pancakes and household tasks); Emmy (Gabriel’s sister); other adults in the household who are named less consistently. - School staff and associates: Christchurch Primary School in Hampstead where Gabriel says many teachers and staff were connected to his father. He names a number of teachers and staff by first and last names, including: - Miss Wilma (year one teacher, described as a friend of Gabriel’s father and the person who introduced him to other teachers). - Miss Forsyth (Kate Forsyth), the head teacher (Kate is her first name; Forsyth is the surname). - Miss Forsyth’s sister, also a head teacher, named Kate too (Kate Ungwyn or Ungwyn is referenced; the exact surname varies in the transcript). - Mr. Hollings (referred to as “mister Hollings,” the year four teacher who is to become Gabriel’s four-year teacher). - Miss Parsons (referred to as a leader among the teachers who knew Gabriel’s father). - Miss Clover and Miss Reese (assistants/teachers who were described as part of the staff). - Miss Wilma (again, described as a year one teacher who knew Gabriel’s father and who helped connect him with other staff). - Other staff names recur with uncertainty due to the chaotic transcript, but a broad network of teachers and school staff is repeatedly cited as being present during events. - Other adults at the events: Gabriel’s father’s friends, a man named Frank who is described as the McDonald’s manager or staff at the pool, and various parents who are named in relation to the disabled toilets incident. Key locations and settings - East Finchley Swimming Pool: Gabriel describes going there with his father (Papa Hemp) and his sister Emmy when he was about four years old. He recalls a changing room where his father and sister were present, and a disabled toilet where the abuse occurred. The pool complex is described as having a McDonald’s nearby and a McDonald’s inside the pool area itself, plus other facilities and a road and stairs near the pool. - The school and the school party: Gabriel recounts an incident on the last day of school in which a party at Christchurch Primary School involved sexual abuse. He describes a party that took place in the school, connected to a church space and school facilities, with dancing, and with teachers and parents present. He states that all the children attended the party and that many people, including teachers, parents, and his father’s friends, were involved in the abuse. He mentions a head teacher and other staff, including the year four teacher, present at the party. - Home and other settings: In the broader timeline, Gabriel refers to various other episodes including his mother’s explanations about anatomy (private parts, semen, the “white stuff” that comes out when wet or rubbed), and the risk and consequences described by his mother. He also describes exposure to alcohol, both wine and beer, provided by his father in various contexts; use of white powder to sniff; and other substances and behaviors introduced by his father and associates. Major events and claims - A pattern of sexual abuse initiated very early: Gabriel states that his father began abusing him when he was a baby or very young (one year old). He describes ongoing abuse across multiple settings, including at the pool and at home/with family friends. - The swimming pool incident: Gabriel details a recurrent pattern at the East Finchley Swimming Pool. He says his father and his father’s friends would take him and his sister into a large, multi-person disabled toilet, where they would perform sexual acts. He explains that the acts involved touching his private area, forcing him to put or be subjected to plastic Willy devices inserted into his bottom, which would bleed after removal. He says the acts occurred in the changing rooms, toilets, particularly the disabled toilet, and involved adults including his father, teachers, and parents who were there “in the disabled toilet” with him and his sister. He also mentions being taught to engage in sexual acts with other children at the pool and with other adults present. - The “plastic Willy” elements: Gabriel describes multiple “plastic willies” of different colors and sizes—bronze/dark skin color (brown), golden color, and white—for insertion into his bottom, describing the process as painful and bleeding after removal. He notes that the devices are made or bought by his father and his father’s associates; he references a person named Daniel as someone who helps make or procure the plastic toys. He emphasizes different color-coded descriptions for what he calls “brown/bronze,” “gold,” and “white.” - The teaching and social settings: Gabriel describes that his father had many connections with staff at the Christchurch Primary School, including Wilma, Forsyth (Kate), Ungwyn (Kate), Parsons, and others, suggesting that these relationships arranged or enabled the abuse. He states that the staff and parents were present at the pool events and at the school party, and that they engaged in or facilitated sexual activities with him and his sister. He describes that his father and the teachers would direct or coerce the children to participate in sexual activities, including oral sex on adults and other acts described in explicit terms. - The party day and the aftermath: The school party is described as lasting six hours and occurring during regular school hours, with a party atmosphere replacing standard lessons. Gabriel recalls being forced to engage in sexual acts at that party, being hit for crying, being injected with a sleeping injection by a nurse teacher so he would fall asleep, and being forced to participate in acts that included sexual contact with multiple adults, including his father, teachers, and other parents. He describes that his father killed babies and ate meat in a later part of the narrative about the party day, but the central focus is the party itself and the abuse that occurred there. - The “white powder” and alcohol: Gabriel recalls being given white powder to sniff by his father or adults, describing it as a substance that causes dizziness, headaches, and a “drunk” feeling. He describes European and Russian family connections as context for these experiences and mentions a green bottle with white powder in it. He also recounts receiving alcohol (white wine and red wine) from his father and feeling dizzy and headache-prone afterward, receiving tablets to alleviate symptoms. He notes that this happened when he was four years old and that his mother later admonished him not to put the white powder near his sister because it could cause babies to be born with severe problems. - The “seeds” and the white stuff: Gabriel describes the white stuff as being similar to semen in boys and having seeds that can multiply if they are brought into contact with another person or water. He explains that he was told to wash hands after handling the white stuff because the seeds can multiply, possibly causing pregnancy if transferred to another person. He emphasizes that the white substance can cause babies that might be blind, deaf, or otherwise disabled. He says his mother told him about the seeds and that it’s dangerous to expose his sister or others to the white stuff. - The self-harm and aggression: Gabriel recounts fighting with his sister, describing that following some of the episodes he engaged in violent acts toward his sister (hitting her, pulling her hair, etc.). He indicates these behaviors intensified after Abraham (Papa) moved in, and that his mother became very stressed as a consequence. He describes subsequent fear about reporting these events and the fear of retaliation by the adults involved, but then he begins to disclose earlier events. Rules and procedural notes from the interviewer - The interviewer (Steve) explains procedural rules for the interview: he is a police officer, with a partner described as Cleo who is the controller of the interview and a camera operator; there is Bethan from social services taking notes; the interview is structured to elicit truthfulness and precision, with an emphasis on avoiding guessing and on not considering Gabriel in trouble for reporting. - Gabriel is encouraged to use truthful accounts and to express himself with the language he chooses, including swear words, and the interviewer explicitly indicates that he would prefer him to supply the real terms (e.g., explicit sexual terms) to ensure accuracy in the record. - The interviewer confirms factual details like the date (11 September, a Thursday), the participants in the interview, and the structure of the interview. He also provides a mock example to illustrate truth-telling and asks Gabriel to identify lies and truths. - The interviewer clarifies that the purpose of the interview is to gather truthfully reported information about past incidents, including events that occurred at the pool, the school, and within the family network. Emotional and safety context - Gabriel communicates fear, confusion, and distress, especially around events at the pool and school. He alternates between recounting explicit acts and the broader social context of an abusive environment. He references fear of retaliation if the information is disclosed and expresses relief at having the opportunity to speak with an adult about what happened. - The narrative includes multiple references to consent, coercion, and the use of physical force to compel participation in sexual activities, as described by Gabriel. Overall content of claims - Gabriel reports extensive sexual abuse and coercion by his father, teachers, and other adults connected to the school and family circle, including forced sexual acts with both him and his sister. - He describes the use of plastic sexual devices inserted into his bottom, causing bleeding, and the performance of sexual acts in changing rooms and disabled toilets at the East Finchley Swimming Pool, in the presence of his father, teachers, and parents. - He recounts participation in a school party that involved sexual activities with multiple adults and a pattern of violence toward him for crying, as well as medical interventions (injections) to suppress crying. - He reports exposure to alcohol and illegal substances (white powder) given or introduced by his father, as well as instructions given by his mother about the dangers of the substances, including the propagation of seeds that could cause pregnancy and birth defects. - He describes a broader pattern of manipulation and complicity among adults at the school, including various named staff who allegedly knew his father and arranged or facilitated abuse. This summary condenses the key points and claims from Gabriel’s account, preserving the explicit statements and descriptions as provided in the transcript, without interpretation or judgment of the claims’ truthfulness.

Losing connection to ourselves in childhood causes many adult problems. Connection to oneself means knowing what one feels and responding with appropriate emotions. Humans are born with this capacity, but many adults ignore their gut feelings. The need for acceptance disconnects us. If the environment doesn't support a child's feelings, the child represses them to fit in and stay connected to the nurturing environment. Parents who are out of touch with their own feelings may not tolerate a child's feelings, so the child learns to suppress them to maintain the relationship. This disconnection is an automatic process, not a conscious choice. Adults may realize they've been living lives that aren't their own because they disconnected from themselves. The economy needs disconnected people who will tolerate meaningless jobs, which is made possible by the way we parent kids. The more disconnected kids are, the more they can fit into an economy that doesn't care about human feelings.

Trauma impacts the brain differently and can cause repetition compulsion, where triggers lead to a trauma response. This can manifest as negative self-talk, such as "I'm no good." CBT, which focuses on thought distortions, may not be as effective for trauma because trauma victims can't simply relabel themselves positively. CBT leans towards the logical part of the brain, while trauma is rooted in the emotional part, specifically the limbic system. People with trauma often engage in all-or-nothing thinking and catastrophizing.

Dan Duvall returns to the deep end conversation, weaving together time travel lore, dark esoteric systems, and practical ministry aims. The discussion touches on government-grade mind control, ancient and modern occult practices, and a vision for how believers might respond with deliverance and deprogramming. Key points and claims from the transcript: - Montauk chair and time travel with children - Dan recounts two Montauk survivors who independently drew the same depiction of a Montauk chair. The chair’s function, as described by these sources, involved activating a child’s psychic power to interface with the chair, open a portal or jump gate, and send people through timelines with coordinates. The adults who traveled allegedly returned with their minds “snapped,” while children were preferred for their pliability. - The claimed outcomes included access to timelines around events such as the cross in Jesus’ time and alternate histories (e.g., Germany’s victory in World War II). The survivor testimonies point to a physically seeded, technologically described process with spiritual overtones. - Epigenetic memories and deep memory layers - The discussion shifts to encounters with epigenetic memories or memories from before embodiment. Dan emphasizes experiences drawn from video game imagery (Assassin’s Creed) as a framework for discussing deep, generational memory and the persistence of dark activity in human bloodlines, including Genesis 6-type incursions. - The theme recurs: the infiltration of human bloodlines by dark forces never stopped, and there are claims of underground activity related to sacred sites (Temple Mount) and “Nephilim mothers” who birth hybrids through ritual, with a later council of thirteen in subterranean spaces. - Temple Mount, underground realms, and portals - Dan describes deep underground work beneath the Temple Mount as a nexus for ley lines and “portal access points” to multiple places, including a Babylonian/underground realm. There is mention of a Nephilim hybrid council and the possibility of travel to Hollow Earth and other astral/portal realms, with physical and spiritual dimensions interacting. - He ties these underground operations to mind control programs (MKUltra and related projects), asserting that such programming crafts responses in politicians and public figures to enable a broader “beast kingdom.” - Epstein, Mengele, and Kabbalah - The Epstein files are discussed as evidence of a broader plan: genetic augmentation, designer babies, and connections to Kabbalah and the Illuminati. He describes Epstein as “Mengele two point o,” a trainer and programmer who embodies these dark genetic and mind-control ambitions. - Dan references Svali (a pseudonymous former member of the Jesuit/Jewish occult networks) who described similar experiments and mind-control techniques, emphasizing the use of genetic augmentation, sex magic, and hybrid birth programs. - Kabbalah vs. Christian theology - A major recurring topic is Kabbalah as a powerful “new age consciousness operating system” that twists biblical concepts. Dan argues that Kabbalah reinterprets Genesis and other biblical texts through the lens of the Babylonian Talmud (Midrash), elevating the serpent (Nakash) to messianic status and promoting twin messiahs (Meshiach ben Yosef and Meshiach ben David), which undermines Christian doctrine of Jesus as the Messiah. - He contrasts Jacob’s ladder in the Bible with the Kabbalistic four-world structure, warning that Kabbalah’s ladder uses Merkabah mysticism and ascension protocols to reach universal consciousness, which Dan sees as a sorcery-based path that diverts from Christ. - Dissociation, mind control, and soul fragments - The conversation delves into dissociation and DID as outcomes of trauma and mind-control programming. Dan explains a dissociative continuum—from daydreaming to dissociative amnesia to full, alternate personalities—arguing that severe trauma in childhood leads to soul fragmentation and parts that can be accessed or “brought forward” in ministry. - He distinguishes trauma-based dissociation from past-life memories or epigenetic memory, though he allows for complex interactions among DNA memory, the human spirit, and preconception or astral experiences. He notes that trauma and ritual abuse can lead to parts with their own narratives and memory banks, sometimes accessible through deliverance or realm-based prayers. - The “beast system” and global governance - The beast system is described as a global governance project—two beasts from Revelation: the beast out of the sea (the antichrist figure) and the beast out of the earth (the false prophet). The goal is to control political, religious, monetary, and societal structures worldwide. - Dan points to historical and literary sources such as Leviathan (the book’s forerunner on massive governance) and discusses how mind control, the secret space program, and genetic engineering contribute to this overarching project. He suggests the beast system seeks to impose a centralized, global order in opposition to Christ’s kingdom. - Time, angels, and heavenly realities - A recurring thread is how spiritual realities intersect with time, memory, and the heavenly realm. Dan discusses the possibility that believers can operate “in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus” even while living in a temporal world, describing superposition and the notion that spiritual realities can coexist with earthly timelines. - He also reflects on angelic hierarchies, noting Michael’s armies, Leviathan, and the general organization of heaven and hellish governance. He suggests that God’s power ultimately prevails, even as darkness pursues a global dominion. - Practical and pastoral aims - A central aim is to scale deprogramming, inner healing, and deliverance ministries to address mind-control programming, SRA trauma, and other spiritual warfare needs. Dan emphasizes that many who have undergone such programming require deprogramming to participate effectively in God’s plans, including ministers, political figures, and Hollywood professionals. - He frames this as a mission to prepare a generation of “power players” who can counter the beast system with the power and authority of Jesus, while offering the hope that, no matter the darkness, God’s plan is superior. - Final exhortations - Dan concludes with a call to pursue extraordinary demonstration of sonship in Christ and to resist the lull of cynicism or despair. He urges believers to recognize the reality of spiritual warfare and to engage with deliverance and deprogramming as essential components of preparing for what he sees as an imminent clash between darkness and God’s kingdom. Throughout, the dialogue blends testimony, controversial claims about secret histories, and a theological framework that positions deliverance and deprogramming as critical responses to a perceived global spiritual drama.

Speaker 0: The most intelligent, powerful species on the planet would be completely divided from the love within themselves. From the moment they are old enough to understand who they are, they are forced into a system that teaches it is wrong to be themselves if themselves differs from what is accepted as normal. They are confused about their own biological makeup so that permanently altering their body is the answer to happiness. They are required to attend an institution from age five until adulthood, where they focus only on the provided information and are repeatedly tested so that it becomes their truth. They are given an explanation to everything so they never have a chance to make their own assumptions of the world. They are scolded and humiliated if they suggest an opinion that opposes authorities. They are reminded of how cruel their ancestors were to each other in the past and the present, and only tragic events on the news are broadcast so they live in fear and think the worst of one another. They are convinced that their species used to be that of an incognizant wild animal. They are made to think their existence is incredibly random, lacking purpose, while being told they are as smart as they’ve ever been so they don’t question the integrity of the system. They are provided idols with artificial beauty and use them as examples of perfection so they are never content with their own appearance and constantly compare themselves. They are given addictive digital platforms that rank them by numbers, causing self-worth to be based on follower counts and leaving them never satisfied. A society is built where those with money benefit and those without fail. Money becomes the main focus, but it is made so difficult to accumulate that they remain in constant struggle, dedicating the majority of their time to the system that created it. They are taxed in every possible way, but told it is for their own benefit so they accept it without question. They have so much time and energy diverted through the week that two days are given to themselves to feel a reward and not fight back. They are exposed to the promotion of poison in every social setting so that even on those two days they remain disconnected from themselves and each other. Their food is pumped with excess sugars and addictive chemicals, but it is cheap, advertised, and easily accessible so they never stop consuming. When their food makes them ill, they are prescribed medication that only masks the symptoms, leading to daily dependency. They are charged so much for health care that they stay in a constant loop of consuming, medicating, and working. They experience chaos among themselves and blame it on a group of their own, forming judgmental stereotypes. They are turned against each other in so many ways.

Pain is 100% in your head, a complex sensation computed in the brain based on threat, state of mind, context, prior history, and other factors. This doesn't invalidate pain; all pain is real and unique. Because the brain drives pain, you can alter pain levels by changing your thinking. Pain can exist without visible damage, pain tolerances vary, and pain can persist in amputated limbs. Understanding these factors allows you to change your relationship with pain and take steps to alter what you're feeling.

Why Violence & Revenge Fantasies Feel Good - James Kimmel Jr.
Guests: James Kimmel Jr.
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Revenge isn't just a feeling; it's a brain signal that nearly pulled a man into a life-altering crime. In a rural Ontario childhood, the guest describes being bullied, a gunshot that rattled his home, and the brutal death of his beagle Paula after the mailbox was blown off its stand. Fueled by anger and a growing fantasy of payback, he chased the attackers through the night. He cornered them with the gun in his hand, but a single flash of insight—that he would become someone he could not live with—stopped him. He returned home, alive but poised on a knife edge. From there, Kimmel explains, why revenge persists is explained by evolution and brain chemistry. The leading theory is that humans evolved to feel pleasure when retaliating against wrongs to enforce social norms. The mental pain from humiliation and perceived injustice activates the anterior insula, a pain network, while the reward circuitry—nucleus accumbens and dorsal striatum—lights up with dopamine as revenge cravings flare, resembling addiction. Without input from the prefrontal cortex, self-control falters, and people chase a brief high despite long-term costs. Revenge becomes an addiction. Episode themes distinguish revenge from self-defense or boundary setting. Revenge targets past wrongs; self-defense guards the present moment. The guest argues that most violence is driven by revenge desires shaped by victim narratives and social structures, including politics, media, and online platforms that amplify grievances. Forgiveness emerges as a brain-level antidote: imagining forgiveness deactivates the anterior insula, dampens the craving circuitry, and rekindles the prefrontal cortex. He describes practical steps—mindful forgiveness, a personal mantra, and a Yale-backed Miracle Court app that lets a person stage a trial of their grievances to test healing. On wider culture and policy, he links revenge to mass violence, but cautions against dehumanizing perpetrators: almost all offenders see themselves as victims. A public health approach—early education about grievances, mental health support, and explicit promotion of forgiveness—could reduce cycles of retaliation. He cites World War II reconciliation as a case where forgiveness helped cement long-term peace. He also touches gender differences, social media dynamics, and the line between accountability and revenge. His work culminates in The Science of Revenge, with practical tools like the Miracle Court and forgiveness practices.

Multiplicity of the Mind: An Approach To Healing the Inner Self | Dr. Richard Schwartz X Rich Roll
Guests: Richard Schwartz
reSee.it Podcast Summary
In this conversation, Rich Roll interviews Dr. Richard Schwartz, the creator of Internal Family Systems (IFS), a therapeutic modality that views the mind as a system of various "parts" rather than a single entity. Schwartz explains that these parts, which can include inner critics, exiles, and managers, all have valuable roles and are shaped by past experiences, particularly childhood trauma. He emphasizes that no part is inherently "bad," and understanding their origins can lead to healing. Schwartz shares his journey from traditional family therapy to developing IFS, noting that he initially struggled with the concept of multiplicity in the mind. He discovered that parts often pre-exist trauma and are not merely fragments created by it. This perspective challenges conventional psychological paradigms that view the mind as unitary. The discussion touches on how IFS can address various conditions, including addiction, trauma, and depression. Schwartz describes how protective parts can become extreme due to their attempts to shield the self from pain, leading to maladaptive behaviors. He advocates for a compassionate approach to these parts, encouraging individuals to engage with them rather than suppress them. Rich Roll reflects on his own experiences with self-criticism and perfectionism, relating them to the parts Schwartz describes. Schwartz guides Roll through an exercise to connect with his inner child and explore feelings of worthlessness and the burdens carried from childhood. This process involves recognizing and unburdening these parts, allowing them to return to their natural states. Schwartz explains that IFS can be applied in various contexts, including couples therapy, where understanding each other's parts can improve communication and intimacy. He emphasizes the importance of self-leadership and the contagious nature of self-compassion in relationships. The conversation concludes with Schwartz highlighting the growing acceptance of IFS in the therapeutic community, despite initial resistance. He encourages individuals to maintain a connection with their parts through daily practices, reinforcing the idea that healing is an ongoing journey.

Leading Childhood Trauma Doctor: 10 Lies They Told You About Your Childhood Trauma! - Paul Conti
Guests: Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, Tommy Hilfiger, Paul Conti
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Trauma is likened to a virus that can affect future generations by altering gene expression. Dr. Paul Conti, a psychiatrist with over two decades of experience, emphasizes that trauma is a widespread issue, affecting over half the population and contributing to various mental and physical health problems, including depression, addiction, and accelerated aging. He argues that modern medicine often overlooks trauma's role, focusing instead on prescribing medications without addressing underlying issues. Curiosity is essential in understanding trauma. Addictive behaviors, such as phone addiction, may stem from unresolved childhood trauma, like sexual abuse. Dr. Conti highlights the importance of recognizing trauma's signs and understanding its impact on mental and physical health. He notes that many people experience trauma without realizing it, often internalizing guilt and shame, which can lead to further health complications. Dr. Conti categorizes trauma into three types: acute, chronic, and vicarious. Acute trauma is immediate and evident, while chronic trauma, such as bullying or systemic discrimination, occurs over time and can be just as damaging. Vicarious trauma affects those who empathize with others' suffering, demonstrating that trauma can be contagious. He shares personal experiences, including the loss of his brother to suicide, which motivated him to pursue psychiatry. This loss highlighted the importance of addressing trauma and its effects on family dynamics. Dr. Conti stresses that trauma can lead to significant health issues, including autoimmune diseases and increased mortality rates. The conversation also touches on the societal stigma surrounding trauma, which often prevents individuals from seeking help. Dr. Conti advocates for open discussions about trauma and its effects, emphasizing that understanding and addressing trauma can lead to healing and improved health outcomes. He discusses the role of the limbic system in processing trauma, explaining that emotional responses often override logical thinking, leading to cognitive blind spots. This can result in self-destructive behaviors and a cycle of trauma. Dr. Conti believes that by fostering curiosity and understanding, individuals can break free from these cycles and reclaim their lives. The discussion concludes with a focus on the importance of knowledge and awareness in addressing trauma. Dr. Conti's work aims to empower individuals to understand their trauma and its effects, ultimately promoting healing and healthier lives.

Today’s guest is a comedian, Theo’s friend, one of the roasters from the Tom Brady roast on Netflix, “one of the best roasters of all time.” Her new HBO special is Someday You’ll Die. Nikki Glazer. Nikki Glazer jokes about talking to women, saying, “the biggest fear inside of a man, I think, is talking to a woman.” She explains how comedy helped her feel like “one of the boys,” or at least not be treated differently, and notes she sometimes enjoys pulling out a feminine energy from men by letting them vent to her female friends. She imagines a devout lesbian who could shoulder some of a man’s burden, and she jokes about public reactions, relationships, and energy dynamics, riffing on concepts of masculine and feminine energy, sexuality, and charm. The discussion swerves into playful mockery of attractiveness standards, surgery, and the idea that money can buy near-perfect appearances, with Nikki saying she might reach a 9.2 with enough help and a right person, then acknowledging she already gets injections herself and enjoys the thrill of risk. Theo jokes about lips and fillers, posture, height, and how people notice posture and sexual confidence. They discuss body image and how women might project sexuality through posture, while acknowledging the physical toll of maintaining certain looks. A extended tangent about Toronto, civic attitudes, and global perceptions leads to broader reflections on consumer culture, borders, and national attitudes toward fame and wealth, intercut with jokes about vaccines, air travel, and border control. The conversation veers to sexuality and period talk, with Nikki answering questions about vaginal health and sex life: “pretty good,” with honest admission that her sex life has had ebbs and flows, including occasional insecurity about her appearance and the impact of cosmetic work. They discuss masturbation habits, dopamine cycles, and the psychology of sexual behavior, including how mood can affect desire and how some people engage in spirals of activity driven by dopamine. They pivot to mental health topics and even lobotomy in a frank, historical detour. Nikki explains what a lobotomy is—“a type of brain surgery that involves severing the connection between the frontal lobe and the other parts of the brain”—and they reference a 2018 study noting many lobotomized individuals were women, along with historical motivations like lack of initiative or restraint, and the role of hospital logic in those procedures. The back-and-forth touches on trauma, memory, dissociation, and the legacy of such practices, ending in a broader reflection about the ethics and evolution of treatments. The pair discuss social media life, online hate, filming in public, and how exposure changes personal interactions. They compare Comedy Central roasts and Netflix’s live format, noting the live element heightens risk and spontaneity, and discuss how clips and social media shape public perception. Nikki recalls the logistics of the Tom Brady roast, including Ben Affleck’s abrupt exit and the high-stakes premise of a single-bomb premise affecting the entire set. They reflect on the afterparty, fame, and the pressure to sustain momentum, then shift to creative work outside stand-up: Nikki’s new song, Someday You’ll Die, written the night before recording with a Chicago producer, and described as a pop song she believes could be a hit. She invites Theo to hear it, explains the songwriting process, and jokes about wanting to explore other skills like guitar and possibly DJing or violin. The episode closes with gratitude, admiration for Tom Brady’s presence, and mutual respect about what it means to rise to a new level of recognition, along with playful talk about future relationships, parenting, and the enduring thrill of creative risk.
