67: Gabor Mate: Healing Trauma and Chronic Illness Through Connection (Part 2 of Lessons Learned Of The Trauma & Chronic Illness Connection)

How can we repair the disconnection from trauma that causes disease?

In part two of this series, we continue our conversation on trauma and chronic illness with Gabor Maté. Gabor has spent his career exploring the connections between trauma, childhood development, and stress. Together, we discuss how trauma disconnects us from ourselves and others and creates dysregulation that drives illness. We explore how our bodies speak to us, and why trauma isn’t what happens to you, but your response to it. Reconnection and regulation are possible!

You’ll hear more about:

• How disconnection is a survival adaptation

• The mistake I made and what I learned from it

• Why 80% of autoimmune disorders happen to women

• Changing our relationships in the world to heal our diseases

• Gabor’s personal practice of staying connected to himself

• And more!
