In a world obsessed with output, Human School is where we study what happens within. This podcast was born from a journal entry during a breakdown. A reminder that struggle isn’t weakness - it’s instruction. Human School reframes pain as purpose, productivity as presence, and leadership as inner clarity. We’re building the education we never got. Through stories, tools, and raw conversations, we help people stop performing their lives–and start participating in them. Welcome to Human School.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-10T04:21:03.154911+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/human-school-7543113"},"episode":{"title":"Dr. Neil Bomar: Why Small \"Paper Cuts\" Do More Damage Than Big Injuries","slug":"dr-neil-bomar-why-small-paper-cuts-do-more-damage-than-big-injuries","published_at":"2026-02-25T16:26:51+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/human-school-7543113/dr-neil-bomar-why-small-paper-cuts-do-more-damage-than-big-injuries","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/human-school-7543113","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/human-school/episodes/Dr--Neil-Bomar-Why-Small-Paper-Cuts-Do-More-Damage-Than-Big-Injuries-e3fjfen","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/10b384b70/podcast/play/116030359/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-1-25%2F418804227-44100-2-f7e6047fed2a1.mp3","summary":"Learn more about Onsite and Milestones at experienceonsite.com or call 1-800-341-7432. A simple conversation can be the first step toward living more fully. What if the wounds you can't name are doing more damage than the ones you can? What if healing doesn't happen in a sterile office, but around a campfire, in a community, or on a paddleboard? Dr. Neil Bomar, Vice President of Medical Services at Milestones, is not your typical psychiatrist. He's a man who spent years trying to fit inside the box of Western medicine before realizing the box wasn't right for him. He traded the "treat 'em and street 'em" model of traditional medicine for a radically human approach to psychiatry. An approach that blends neuroscience, experiential therapy, and the healing power of nature and genuine connection. In this conversation, Dr. Bomar opens up about his own "death day," the childhood moment that quietly rewired how he moved through the world. He shares what it was like to discover, well into his career, that his infectious enthusiasm and relentless positivity were, in part, a defense mechanism against pain. He goes deep into the surreal Thanksgiving when a bullet fell from the sky, struck him in the nose, and lodged in his cheek. And why, even then, his developmental wounding left the deeper mark.
