In this episode I’m chatting with Dr Gabor Maté, an international best selling author and expert in trauma, addiction, childhood development and the relationship between stress and disease. It was a huge honour to interview Gabor for this episode and he offered some fascinating insights into a range of topics.
In this episode we discuss:
The Mind-Body connection
How emotions impact our physiology
The impact of trauma on physical, mental and spiritual health
Addiction as something we all experience
Multigenerational trauma
Plant medicine as a tool for healing
The other tools that have helped Gabor on his own healing journey
The need for a more holistic approach to “illness” especially regarding mental health
I really hope you enjoy the episode. If you do, please subscribe and leave a review.
