Ep 159. Suvrat Bhargave: A Moment of Insight

Dr. Suvrat Bhargave is the author of a new book called Moment of Insight: Universal Lessons Learned from a Psychiatrist's Couch.  Dr. Bhargave is a board-certified psychiatrist, specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry. Employing empathy, education, and empowerment he has been able to relate to a multi-demographic audience. Affectionately known for his “relatable expertise”, Dr. Bhargave is highly sought after to lecture locally and nationally on a broad range of topics pertaining to personal growth, effective parenting, relationship satisfaction, and mental health conditions. After completing his residency training and specialty fellowship from Duke University, Dr. B (as he is known by his patients) continued his practice in hospitals, community health, and private practice settings.  In this episode, Stew and Dr. Bhargave discuss how shame and its opposite, feelings of self-worth, shape our capacity to be successful in all parts of our lives.  They talk about what it takes to address the fundamental question of who you are and the common challenges we face in doing so. Dr. B describes the stigma of mental illness, particularly for men in our society, and how we can address it by shifting the mainstream discussion from mental health problems to emotional wellness.  They tackle all this and more, including practical ideas for how to raise children who feel good about themselves.   Hosted on Acast.
