Psychiatrist Dr. Suzan Song reveals why "just keep going" isn't resilience — it's a trauma response. After hiding from child soldiers in Burundi, she uncovered the hidden cost of high achievement that no one talks about.
In this episode, you'll discover:
Why performing stability after trauma leads to a breakdown decades later
The real difference between pain (unavoidable) and suffering (optional)
The Three Friends of Winter — Narrative, Ritual & Purpose — and why they outperform every self-care tool
Why building your identity on competence is the most fragile thing a high achiever can do
Why more mental health resources are producing more depression, not less
