Also: the myth of normal, the necessity of being disillusioned, and the disutility of comparing your suffering. Description:  There's so much to be grateful for in modern medicine. We can all agree that we would not do as well in a world with no Advil or dentistry. And yet, our guest today, who is a renowned doctor, says modern medicine is overlooking something crucial: the pernicious impact that modern living has on our minds and bodies. In other words, we are surrounded by these hidden societal and structural sources of stress and we aren't thinking about how to treat and prevent these factors that are degrading our happiness and our immune systems.  Dr. Gabor Maté is a bestselling author with an expertise on everything from stress to addiction to ADHD. His latest book is called, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture Content Warning: This episode has mentions of child abuse, sexual trauma, suicide and addiction In this episode we talk about: What he means by "the myth of normal" How diseases, such as autoimmune conditions, are an "artifact of civilization" How to begin to tackle what Dr. Maté calls, "the social sources of illness"  His definition of trauma and the difference between "big T traumatic events" and the trauma of "wounding" How trauma in society is so normalized that we don't even recognize it Whether the term trauma is overused Why comparing suffering is a fruitless endeavor  What he means by "the necessity to be disillusioned"  The power and possibility of psychedelics  Why he thinks we should incorporate shamanic medicine into our western medical framework And what he means by "undoing self-limiting beliefs" and how these beliefs show up in our everyday lives Full Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/gabor-mate-archive Where to find Gabor Maté online:  Website: drgabormate.com Social Media: Twitter Facebook Instagram YouTube Books Mentioned: The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture When the Body Says No: Exploring the Stress-Disease Connection Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction  Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers Other Resources Mentioned: The Wisdom of Trauma  Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Is Associated with Increased Risk of Ovarian Cancer: A Prospective and Retrospective Longitudinal Cohort Study Decrease in depression symptoms is associated with longer survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer: a secondary analysis Marital Status, Marital Strain, and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease or Total Mortality: The Framingham Offspring Study George Engel How spanking may affect brain development in children The Trauma of Everyday Life by Dr. Mark Epstein IntraConnected: MWe (Me + We) as the Integration of Self, Identity, and Belonging by Dr. Dan Siegel A.
