Solving the Riddle of Being Human

The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture - with Dr. Gabor Maté


Listen Later

Ready to unlearn all the myths that capitalist culture perpetuates in our society and uncover the truth about what makes you who you are? Sah is joined by Dr. Gabor Maté — one of the foremost experts on addiction, stress, and childhood development and NYT bestselling author — to discuss his new book, The Myth of Normal, the links between childhood trauma, personality traits of self-suppression, and chronic illness, the criminality of our criminal justice system, and so much more.

They dish about…

  1. The intergenerational chains of trauma transmission, and how we can be the ones to break the chain in our own family.
  2. Dr. Maté’s own generational wounds as a child of World War II, and how they led him to his work today.
  3. Understanding the root causes of physiological and mental illnesses through a psychospiritual lens.
  4. Peeling back the facade to see the criminality of our “criminal justice system” and how it perpetuates the traumas that led people to prison.
  5. The differences between hope and possibility, and why this perspective shift matters.
  6. The connections between healing and wholeness from a linguistic point of view, and how it relates to healing from trauma.
  7. Understanding the root cause of shame and breaking free from shame cycles.
  8. …and more.

    A renowned speaker and bestselling author, Dr. Gabor Maté is highly sought after for his expertise on a range of topics including addiction, stress, and childhood development. Dr. Maté has written several bestselling books, including the New York Times bestseller The Myth of Normal, the award-winning In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction, When the Body Says No: Exploring the Stress-Disease Connection, and the New York Times bestseller Scattered Minds: How Attention Deficit Disorder Originates and What You Can Do About It, and has coauthored Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers.
