He unpacks the complexities of healing, the significance of memory, and the essential role of personal responsibility in recovery. Dr. Maté introduces compassionate inquiry—a practice of exploring one’s pain with openness rather than judgment—as a powerful pathway to healing. He encourages individuals to release shame, approach their experiences with curiosity, and recognize that it is never too late to heal. Ultimately, the discussion reveals that reconnection with one’s authentic self lies at the heart of true recovery. Trust us when we say–this is an episode you will not want to miss!
