The conversation
Gabor Maté, a bestselling author and trauma expert, discusses how early childhood trauma shapes lifelong patterns of self-worth, addiction, and mental health. He argues that societal 'normal' is often unhealthy and that ADHD is a response to environmental stress rather than a genetic disease. The episode explores healing trauma through awareness rather than just symptom management.
