310: Overcoming Trauma with Mindfulness – Dr. Jason Durant

310: Overcoming Trauma with Mindfulness – Dr. Jason Durant

In this episode, we explore Boy From the North Country, the powerful self-help memoir by Dr. Durant. With the intensity of a car chase, Dr. Durant shares his journey from the volatile backroads of rural Northern New York to the vibrant but challenging world of gay San Francisco. Part memoir, part psychological insight, this story unpacks how trauma shapes us, how mindfulness can aid in healing, and how even the Grateful Dead played a role in his survival. Key lessons you'll learn:
  • All research is me-search.
  • We are who we are because of our trauma.
  • And yes, a boy from rural NY can grow up to be an amazing gay man

Join us as we uncover this tale of resilience, wisdom, and finding hope against all odds. About Jason

Dr. Jason Durant is a gay man, psychologist, and author living in Manhattan and Hillsdale, NY. Dr. Durant’s life experience growing up as a gay kid on a farm in rural New York State provided fodder for both laughter and tears. His progression through life and his work as a psychotherapist offer him a unique perspective on life as gay man learning to live with the trauma of growing up as an isolated queer kid.

His adventures in San Francisco’s bohemian enclaves of the Castro, the Mission District and in the hills of Northern California’s golden triangle bend the narrative of the traditional healing story into a winding tale built on learning self acceptance through self exploration, music, and even psychedelics. Taken together, this unique and inspiring story was lived by only one person, just as all lives are and this is why he is the man best situated to tell this story.
