Gabor Mate's latest book the Myth of Normal is VITAL to our well-being. I find it SO relevant to our current individual and social ailments that I'm sharing the first 12 chapters and my reflections on them based on my personal and professional experience as a Behavioral Health Provider and a Trauma Survivor.

Part 1: Our Interconnected Nature
Chapter 5: Mutiny on the Body: The Mystery of the Rebellious Immune System
How our immune system responds to external threats
Listen as we explores the ‘lay of the land’ in terms of Trauma and its effects. Mate’s work is relatable, digestible and groundbreaking.
In the following chapters we will be exploring:
How our ‘norms’ are working against our well-being
How mind-body are have been separated and why that matters,
The interpersonal nature of our health,
The assault on our minds and bodies of our current ‘norms’,
The cost of our unnatural inauthenticity,
The human needs we aren’t meeting (including the basic human needs of children)
How we transfer trauma generationally and biologically and;
The medicalized trauma of how we birth our next generation.I promise it’s not all doom and gloom though, we will be covering solutions as well, so stay tuned, listen up and let me know what you think!
Next up, Chapter 6: It Ain’t a Thing: Disease as Process
How we relate to these processes matters! Why and how an adversarial relationship with our dis-ease becomes a self fulfilling prohecy
