Dr. Gabor Maté, holocaust survivor, physician, global speaker, thought leader, and author of The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture, joins Jillian for this week’s show. He is helping us understand what trauma is, how it impacts us physically as well as psychologically, and most importantly, how to heal from it. Trauma can manifest in every aspect of our lives, from auto immune conditions like multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and rheumatoid arthritis, to abusive relationships, addiction, and more. Dr. Maté walks us through how to transmute pain and suffering into growth, wisdom, depth, empathy and love.
