Beyond Well Podcast Series
Beyond Well with Sheila Hamilton is a podcast that recognizes the shared experience of the inner world—the commonality of depression (35 million people worldwide,) the unrelenting battle with anxiety (40 million Americans suffer from anxiety) and the likelihood that at some point, every one of us will need help in getting through the day.
Each episode fixes on a central theme— isolation, self-loathing, anxiety, or depression. We also explore the search for meaning and happiness, and we provide a different way of reclaiming balance in our lives. We want to give you the opportunity to relate, to laugh, and to begin gathering a few tools for your emotional toolbox.
What you’ll find at Beyond Well is people who care deeply about the world, the health of our friends and family, and the strength of our community. We talk with artists, authors, musicians and people with lived experience about what it means to be human in an age of angst. The show is hosted by journalist and author Sheila Hamilton, who has reported and written on the topic of wellness for more than a decade.
Beyond Well With Sheila Hamilton is a podcast for people who want to learn tools for living better. Each week, we dive into a different aspect of emotional and behavioral health with our team of psychologists, psychiatrists, and people with lived experience. If you’ve wanted to try mental health therapy, but are prevented from doing so by cost or because of a lack of time, this podcast is for you.
Dr. George Bonnano is professor of clinical psychology and director of the Loss Trauma, and Emotion lab at Columbia University. In The End of Trauma, Bonanno argues that most of what we think we understand about trauma is wrong. It is not nearly as common as we think, and people are overwhelmingly resilient to adversity. Prepare for a conversation that may overturn everything you thought you know about PTSD and how people respond to hardship
