Welcome back to Healing 101. This is Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Sami Tamimi, where we continue peeling back the layers of how we understand mental health and emotional pain.
In this episode, Sami shares his thoughts on the impact of COVID, helicopter parenting, and how our culture's obsession with control and certainty may be contributing to rising levels of anxiety and distress—especially among young people.
We discuss the ‘treatment-prevention paradox,’ why current mental health services may be better at creating long-term patients than solving distress, and what a new, more humane paradigm might look like.
If you've ever felt defined by your diagnosis or dismissed by your struggle, this episode is for you.
