In today's episode, Dr. Gabor Maté and his wife, Rae, share stories from their 55 years of marriage. Their long-term commitment - which has seen ups and downs - has borne an awareness and insight into the nature of relationships and their challenges. They speak candidly about their own partnership and how they’ve been able to overcome impasses, after Dr. Maté summarizes the reasons women are more likely to have autoimmune diseases, PTSD, and anxiety.

If you want to heal your trauma with compassion, take your power back, and find peace from past pain, watch the first session of Dr. Mate’s new Commune course “A Return to Wholeness” for free at onecommune.com/healtrauma.
