ABOUT THE EPISODE:
In a follow-up to episode 131 where I had a conversation with Dr. Gabor Maté about his new book, The Myth of Normal, I'm diving into four key insights I gleaned from the book and from our time together.

While there are many more, these four elements of Gabor's overall message in the book and his work as a whole stood out, and I felt it was important to share them with you.  These insights are ones that parents with kids struggling with substance use will find especially relevant as they navigate the wild ride.

I share my thoughts on these key concepts from the book:

• self-awareness and self-compassion
• the link between stress and illness
• authenticity, and
• anger

If you haven't already, take a listen to episode 131, then this will be a perfect follow-up. Or, start here and get curious about the more profound conversation with Dr. Gabor Maté and queue up 131 next.
