Today’s episode of The Qualys is from podcast #15 – Paul Conti, M.D.: trauma, suicide, community, and self-compassion.
The Qualys is a subscriber-exclusive podcast, released Tuesday through Friday, and published exclusively on our private, subscriber-only podcast feed. Qualys is short-hand for “qualifying round,” which are typically the fastest laps driven in a race car—done before the race to determine starting position on the grid for race day. The Qualys are short (i.e., “fast”), typically less than ten minutes, and highlight the best questions, topics, and tactics discussed on The Drive.

Conti’s words spoke to my condition, my extended family on the paternal side is rife with binge drinkers, religious nuts, hoarders, and miscellaneous fanatics and hardliners. Its not been until the last few years that I realized that much of our self destructive behavior has its roots in our attempts to quell a low grade anxiety that we just have as a part of our makeup.
My addiction is busyness, and also living in the future, this Ted Talk resonated with me. Like he’s reading my texts.
