We all carry moments that stay with us — especially the embarrassing or humiliating ones that happen early in our careers or during training.

In this video, I share a moment from my first week of medical school that shaped me more than any lecture ever did. A surgeon humiliated me in front of 130 students, and for years I believed that moment had damaged me.
What I later discovered was very different.

And it taught me one of the most important lessons about resilience, confidence, and emotional growth.

In this video, we cover:
1️⃣ The psychology of humiliation
Why it cuts so deeply, and why our minds replay these moments over and over.
2️⃣ My story of being publicly embarrassed at 19
What happened, how it affected me, and the unexpected way the story ended years later.
3️⃣ Rick Hanson’s “Reactive vs Responsive” model
And how shifting from reaction to response can transform how you handle stressful or shame-filled moments.
4️⃣ A practical 5-step framework
For recovering from humiliation in the workplace, in education, or any high-pressure environment.
5️⃣ The truth about resilience

Why emotional pain isn’t weakness — and why your response holds far more power than the moment itself.

Who this video is for
Students (medical or otherwise)
Anyone early in their career
People recovering from workplace humiliation or embarrassment
Anyone who wants to build emotional resilience
If you’ve ever walked away from a difficult moment thinking, “Maybe I’m not cut out for this,”—this one is for you.
