Why We Suffer and How Trauma Shapes Our Lives with Dr. Suzan Song

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Dr. Suzan Song, a psychiatrist, researcher, and humanitarian policy advisor, to explore trauma, resilience, and the human capacity for healing. Dr. Song has worked with trauma survivors, high achievers, foster youth, and individuals impacted by global human rights violations, and she brings a rare blend of clinical insight and lived experience to this discussion. We talk about how childhood experiences shape adult behavior, why high achievers often develop hidden coping mechanisms, and how shame keeps so many people stuck in survival mode. Dr. Song explains how the stories we tell ourselves influence healing, why rituals and stability are essential for recovery, and how trauma lives in the body and the brain. Dr. Song also shares her personal journey of overcoming trauma and how it shaped her mission to help others find purpose, resilience, and emotional stability.
