In this episode of M2 THE ROCK, Michael Molthan sits down with the renowned Dr. Gabor Maté to discuss his groundbreaking book, 'The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture'. This conversation challenges our conventional ideas about what is considered 'normal' in society. Dr. Maté explores how trauma and stress, often ignored or misunderstood, can manifest as addiction, chronic illness, and mental health struggles.
He passionately argues that modern society has conditioned us to accept dysfunction as normal and stresses the importance of understanding the root causes of our issues rather than just addressing the symptoms. Dr. Maté's insights are both eye-opening and deeply compassionate, offering a fresh perspective on how we can begin to heal ourselves and our communities.
If you've ever wondered why so many people struggle with addiction and mental health issues, or if you're seeking a deeper understanding of your own experiences, this episode is a must-listen. You'll come away with a new appreciation for the complexities of human nature and the societal factors that shape our well-being.
