I’m beyond excited to welcome Dr. Gabor Maté to this Language of Love Conversation. As an author, physician, and renowned addiction expert, Gabor has spent years working to break down societal norms and traditional ideals about the connection between trauma and illness. His book, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, & Healing in a Toxic Culture, explores the relationship between and influences of mind and body. 

Together we get into the many ways our current physical and mental health is rooted in childhood. 

In today’s Conversation, we talk about:

• Ways in which our mind and body are interconnected 
• The unique ways stress impacts women’s physical health
• Why ‘no’is crucial to physical health
• How to understand the feeling of guilt and what it means 
• The gifts of sensitive children and why society doesn’t always recognize them
• How healing is the natural movement toward wholeness
• Two different kinds of pain

Check out Dr. Gabor Maté’s website for more information on his career, books, and courses available. They are chock-full of valuable information regarding addiction, ADHD, trauma, mind/body, and more.
