Episode 113: Dr. Curt Thompson, Psychiatrist, Author, Speaker, and Founder of The Center for Being Known
Description
Dr. Curt Thompson (https://curtthompsonmd.com/) is a widely known expert in interpersonal neurobiology, and I could not be more excited for you to hear this episode. Dr. Thompson’s genuine love and care for people shines brightly in this conversation where he highlights his unique insights about how the brain affects and processes relationships. Dr. Thompson focuses on what we all as humans want— to be known— and how shame and trauma keep us in hiding. He shares about the non-profit he founded, The Center for Being Known (https://www.thecbk.org/), and the “confessional communities” that are part of the Center. These communities, Dr. Thompson shares, foster an environment where people feel seen, soothed, safe, and secure, which leads to a deeper relationship with God and others. Dr. Thompson not only shares his expertise and wisdom but also some of his personal story of parenting an adult child who struggled with a mental health issue. Dr. Thompson is also the host of The Being Know Podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/being-known-podcast/id1556261828), which helps people discover and explore what it means to be truly known.
