When the Tests Come Back Normal But You’re Still Suffering - It’s Not Just In Your Head with Dr. Susan Trachman
Today's guest has spent over three decades doing something most doctors shy away from — leaning into the mystery. As a Board-Certified Psychiatrist with more than 30 years of experience, Dr. Susan B. Trachman has built her career around the cases others couldn't crack: medically unexplained illnesses that leave patients frustrated, dismissed, and searching for answers.

About Our Guest
With an untraditional background rooted in psychology and social work, Dr. Trachman brings a uniquely human lens to medicine. She's an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Virginia Commonwealth University and a Clinical Associate Professor at George Washington University, where she trains the next generation of physicians to think deeper, look wider, and listen harder.
Her award-winning writing at Psychology Today — where her column is literally titled "It's Not Just In Your Head" — has been designated as essential reading and featured on the publication's front page. That column is also the inspiration behind her book of the same name, It's Not Just In Your Head, which takes her life's work out of the clinic and puts it directly in the hands of the people who need it most.
She's a forensic psychiatrist, a speaker, an author, and — as you're about to find out — someone who is deeply committed to making sure that no patient ever leaves a doctor's office feeling like their suffering is all in their head.
Welcome back Dr. Trachman.
