    I Am Someone You Know with David Russell Shamszad

    David Russell Shamszad is an author, entrepreneur, and mental health advocate whose memoir, I Am Someone You Know, chronicles his descent into untreated bipolar disorder and alcoholism and his long road back.  In his early twenties, mood swings, addiction, psychiatric hospitalizations, and incarceration unraveled what once looked like a promising life, culminating in profound loss and near surrender. With the support of loved ones and his own relentless resolve, David confronted the darkness he had kept hidden and rebuilt his life.  Today, he is a husband, father, and successful entrepreneur and founder of SG real estate, who speaks openly about mental illness, addiction, and recovery, reminding others that healing begins when truth is brought into the light.

    The Guest Host Series Christina P. Kantzavelos, LCSW interviews Lauren Auer

    Lauren Auer is a Trauma Therapist who has built a community of nearly 200,000 followers by sharing what she's learned from seeing trauma from every possible angle. Lauren's path into trauma work was unintentional. What started as a graduate school internship at an agency working with both juvenile offenders and abuse victims turned into a career-defining passion. She discovered she loved the complexity of seeing trauma from multiple perspectives - working with victims, offenders, and their families gave her a unique understanding of how trauma ripples through every layer of experience. From there, Lauren worked at a women's domestic violence shelter and eventually became director of a rape crisis center, where she provided therapy to people of all ages while also training police and medical staff. She's been in emergency rooms doing immediate crisis intervention and in therapy rooms with people processing childhood trauma decades later. This breadth of experience - from the immediate aftermath of trauma to long-term healing - shaped her understanding that trauma isn't one-size-fits-all. Lauren is trained in EMDR, certified in Brainspotting, and holds certifications in Somatic Trauma Healing and Compassion Fatigue. Her approach reflects what she learned in those early years: every person's trauma looks different, so every person's healing needs to look different too.

After serving seven years as a signal specialist, including a deployment to Iraq, she was medically discharged due to severe illness and PTSD and became dangerously overmedicated.  Her withdrawal and recovery journey was documented in the film Medicating Normal, for which she later led a nationwide grassroots outreach effort engaging more than 180 audiences. Today, she supports individuals navigating medication withdrawal and trauma related to overmedication, working with those harmed by the very system they turned to for help, and advocating for meaningful change in mental health care.
