October 16, 2025 MDMA, Oxytocin, & Empathy: The Neuroscientist on How Connection Rewires Your Brain | Dr. Ben Rein
Today, Kati sits down with neuroscientist Dr. Ben Rein, to dive into the social connection and the growing loneliness epidemic. Dr. Rein, author of Why Brains Need Friends, explains how your brain is fundamentally wired for interaction, why isolation is a biological stressor, and what you can do to improve your social health. In this must-watch episode, Dr. Rein explains the mechanical changes happening in your brain during isolation and clarifies why the U.S. Surgeon General has declared a loneliness epidemic. You'll learn the surprising truth about isolation and physical health—it can cause stress hormones like cortisol to rise within days and is associated with more adverse health outcomes. Dr. Rein also reveals the science behind why isolation can make people more irritable and even angry, linking it to the body's natural stress response. Kati and Dr. Rein discuss the difference between in-person and digital interactions, noting that less "lifelike" communication strips away vital social cues like eye contact, body language, and even smell, leading to fewer mood benefits. Dr. Rein introduces the concept of a "Social Diet" and social journaling—practical tools to help you identify which interactions energize you ("breath in" relationships) versus those that leave you depleted. The conversation takes fascinating turns into the role of brain chemicals like oxytocin and serotonin in social reward and the development of empathy. Plus, discover the incredible, innate ability of dogs to detect physiological stress signals and the science of how pets help children develop crucial social skills.

Today, I'm answering your top questions on trauma recovery, emotional processing, and breaking free from mental blocks.
I'm diving deep into how to move out of functional freeze and start feeling again, what structure is actually needed in therapy sessions, and the hard but essential first steps of eating disorder recovery. We also discuss the severe emotional impact of failed suicide attempts, techniques for determining if a memory is real or false, and why your nervous system makes you push away safe people and loved ones.

September 25, 2025 Are You 'High-Functioning' but Secretly Depressed? (Psychiatrist Explains)
High-functioning depression is a silent struggle for many. Are you walking through life, feeling overwhelmed, but still managing to keep it all together?
Dr. Joseph shares insights from her groundbreaking, peer-reviewed study, the first of its kind on high-functioning depression. She explains why many people with depression symptoms continue to function, showing up to work and managing their responsibilities, often while wearing a mask to hide their pain. They may not experience joy or pleasure, a symptom known as anhedonia, which can be a key indicator of this condition.

Our conversation challenges the traditional medical approach to mental health, which often requires a person to reach a point of crisis before they can receive a diagnosis or treatment. We explore why this "wait until you're at stage four" mentality is so flawed and how we can instead adopt a preventative mindset, similar to what we see in cardiology.
We also dive into the fascinating link between past trauma and the need to be constantly busy. Dr. Joseph’s research shows that high-functioning individuals often avoid dealing with their pain by taking on more work and distracting themselves.
In this episode:
00:46 - What is High-Functioning Depression?
02:47 - The connection between trauma, being busy, and high-functioning depression
04:21 - The medical field's narrow definition of trauma
07:12 - The idea of "white knuckling" life
08:32 - The difference between happiness and joy
11:23 - The importance of small moments of joy
14:16 - Using the Bio-Psychosocial Model to find joy
25:50 - The significance of body and emotional awareness
27:50 - The impact of social media and technology
31:53 - The importance of in-person connection
37:48 - The future of AI in therapy
40:39 - The connection between people-pleasing, perfectionism, and trauma
45:54 - Why people return to abusive relationships
48:38 - A 5-step model for finding joy
53:40 - The joy of writing and creative work
