Why are we seeing more chronic disease, stress, obesity, addiction, and so many other states of illness than ever before, despite having the most advanced medical system in the world?
Because we aren’t living in a natural and normal world. We’re actually having normal responses to our abnormal circumstances, many of which create trauma that gets stored in the brain and body. Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m honored to talk to my dear friend Dr. Gabor Maté about the myth of normal, and why doing the difficult work of uncovering trauma is essential for living our fullest expression of life.
A renowned speaker and bestselling author, Dr. Gabor Maté is highly sought after for his expertise on a range of topics including addiction, stress, and childhood development. Dr. Maté has written several bestselling books, including the award-winning In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction, When the Body Says No: Exploring the Stress-Disease Connection, and Scattered: How Attention Deficit Disorder Originates and What You Can Do About It, and has co-authored Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers. His latest book, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing in a Toxic Culture was just released.

At least we've finally arrived at the point of calling out the century-long inadequacies of Rockefeller medicine.

I'm only half way through. At the point where Dr. Mate talked about turning off media and spending time alone. Which is what I'm going to do with the rest of the day. The happiest days of my life was when I lived in a ranch community in Mexico with no TV and only cassettes then CD's of music. The only TV I saw was at a Taco stand. Living close to nature and interacting with others who weren't touched by cable then media and an obsession for a plethora of products no one needs. Life was so peaceful!

I was sexually abused as a very young child and my mother starved me of love and affection, I was always made to feel like there was something wrong with me, I still feel this way at the age of 53,I have type 2 diabetes and fibromyalgia, I have had a very poor relationship with food as I used it to comfort myself, I'm now on a high protein, high fat low carb diet and I'm finally starting to feel a little better so I will carry on eating this way.thank you 🙏❤

The message I getting here is: we are all hurt in different ways throughout our lives, many of us are born with the hurts of our ancestors, making us extra sensitive. It is part of being human. If we can express our emotions every time we’re hurt then there is no wound left behind. If we can’t in the moment, if there is no compassionate witness to our pain, no one who says sorry, then we swallow the pain and the wound goes deeper. Every new hurt is added to it. With the advance of science we have left behind our natural ability to heal ourselves from all our internal hurts, we have lost the connection with our true selves, where our natural intuition should flow from. Instead we have been persuaded to trust a system outside ourselves, which has done a lot for mankind and saved millions of lives, but is now hopelessly broken because they abandoned natural healing. It’s overloaded, but it doesn’t need to be if we take care of our own hurts.

Sorry, had to add another comment. Excellent talk. Really excellent. I was diagnosed at 19 with panic disorder and major depression which lasted 5 years. I'm now 63 and have been on medication most of my life. I can tell you in all that time not one psychiatrist or therapist ever asked me what happened to you. Not one. And there was plenty.

It takes a parent with a regulated nervous system to teach an infant how to regulate their nervous system. Otherwise, it is flight, fight or fawn for us. Unless of course, you get to find a way to regulate yourself. Not easy in a culture like ours.

I love seeing my two well-being mentors share this powerful conversation with us. Impressed by Mark’s vulnerability in this interview- that made the interview with Gabor even more compelling than usual.

Yep, every aspect of my ill health can be directly related to my childhood one way, or another...last (girl) child in a poor family that came from poor people, both smoked like trains, ate fried white everything, never had fresh veggies, then...my brothers committed suicide when I was 4 and everything went downhill from there. I am 66 and have tried everything to heal but am hoping I can find someone to help me finally solve this with psychedelic therapy, which is hard to find near me.

We are all mentally sick including psychiatrists, psychologists, doctors and nurses. We all have chronic addiction and attachment to our affairs. We believe and make ourselves overly important, when, in fact, our sudden death tonight doesn't make any difference to the society. Life goes in finely without us. Some know this truth and live easily. Some don't know it and suffer. Some reject the truth and live with the label of mental illness.

I was fortunate to get to spend 6 months alone on a mountain top on the North Shore of Kaua’i with a view of Napali~ one of the wettest places on Earth. It was amazing. and so peaceful. Just what the Dr. ordered! ( meaning my own inner Dr.) Never doubt your own ability to be open to your own healing. We are deeply, innately connected to our best selves, as soon as we believe that is possible. Living on the North Shore was better than any other therapy I’ve tried at getting my brain and heart in balance. Now almost 63 I am beginning to realize the power of peacefulness in healing one’s self, though it has been a lifelong process of baby steps. To commit to one’s own self healing is a process that changes everything. Looking forward to many health centered years ahead. 💜

By making your mental health and personal growth a priority, you will heal much faster. I understand that this can be hard to do, especially if you have little ones to look after. However, if you do have little ones to look after, it’s even more crucial that you take care of yourself first. This is so you are fully able to take care of others.

I am 66. I’ve just got out of hospital following a nasty flare of ulcerative colitis which I have had for 36 years. I was the last person to realise I was so sick. I’ve been listening to Gabor’s talks about childhood attachment trauma, adaptations (the 4 personality traits all of which I have) and chronic illness. Now I know why I was the last person to realise I was so sick. I’ve been disconnected from my body most of my life. I’m so grateful for Gabor’s kind and compassionate descriptions of how I got to here. I truly believe he has described for me a road map out of chronic illness. I’m starting Trauma Sensitive Yoga this coming week to learn how to listen to my body, and maybe get some ideas about what healthy anger looks like. Thank you again Dr Gabor Maté 🙏🏼💕

“My kids were sometimes scared of me…” being able to integrate his own story and use it to help author his next life chapters speaks to a level of self-acceptance and maturity that is beginning to grow in our world. And THAT is something to be grateful for ❤

That last part when he talks about how he started interpreting his mother giving him to a stranger in order to save him as an act of love brought me to tears. Fantastic interview!

This has certainly proven true in my life. I grew up in a very poor alcoholic abusive home. I have many health issues. And while there have been many factors that went into them. I’m sure my childhood experience affected me greatly. And as a former teacher for thirty years. I have seen this in so many families.

Excellent exchange between two intelligent men who struggled in their own lives to unravel the web of emotions that held them stuck in their development. Thank you for the insights given. I will watch this vlog more than once for sure.
