Dr. Gabor Maté: This Is What a Doctor Wants You To Know About Past Emotional Trauma

In this episode of the "Change Your Brain Every Day" podcast, Dr. Gabor Maté discusses the concepts from his book, "The Myth of Normal," exploring how societal norms can be unhealthy and how trauma impacts mental and physical well-being. He emphasizes the importance of connection and listening in addressing mental health issues, the role of stress and adverse childhood experiences in shaping individuals, and the impact of modern society on parenting and child development. The conversation also covers addiction, defining it as a response to pain rather than a genetic disease, and touches on the significance of bonding and secure environments for children's development.
