Healing Trauma in a Toxic Culture - with Dr. Gabor Maté | Know Thyself LIVE Podcast EP 33

When it comes to disease, mental illness, and addiction in our society, trauma is largely misunderstood and not discussed enough. In this live episode of the Know Thyself Podcast, we are joined by world-renowned author Dr. Gabor Maté, as he explains the myth of normal, and how to heal trauma in a toxic culture. He describes the origins of trauma and how memories of the past haunt our subconscious behaviors. Revealing how when we use our awareness and compassionate inquiry to heal these traumas, we unlock the gift of rediscovering our true nature. The podcast is followed by a live Q&A from our audience, where Dr. Maté discusses the broken school system, ADHD as a coping mechanism, psychiatric medications, ayahuasca, and much more. ___________ Timecodes: 0:00 Intro 3:27 What is Trauma 7:21 Little t VS Big T Trauma 10:58 Toxic Culture 18:58 Our True Nature 22:57 When We Abandon our True Selves 29:31 Breaking Unconscious Patterns 35:35 Survival Mechanisms
