What if healing from adversity isn’t about returning to who we were before something difficult happened, but learning how to live meaningfully with what has changed? In this episode of Wellness in Today’s World, host Dr. Debra Kawahara sits down with psychiatrist, humanitarian mental health expert, and author of Why We Suffer and How We Heal, Dr. Suzan Song. Recorded on location in Washington, DC, the episode explores why suffering is an inevitable part of life and how we can find meaning, connection, and purpose amid instability. Drawing on her personal experiences and humanitarian work, Dr. Song introduces her “three friends of winter”—narrative, ritual, and purpose—and explains how they can help us make meaning from adversity, restore a sense of safety, and live according to our values. The conversation also challenges the emphasis on individual healing by highlighting the importance of community, co-regulation, and collective connection.
