Today I have the honor of connecting with the renowned speaker and bestselling author Dr. Gabor Mat\xe9! Dr. Mat\xe9 is highly sought-after for his expertise on various topics, including addiction, trauma, stress, and childhood development. He recently wrote a New York Times bestselling book, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture.\nFor many of us, the concept of trauma is controversial and largely misunderstood. In today\u2019s discussion with Dr. Mat\xe9, I am transparent, honest, and open about how I grew up and how my childhood experiences have influenced me throughout my lifetime. We get into the definition of trauma, why trauma is so widespread and misunderstood, the differences between habit and addiction, the impact of a toxic culture and materialism, and the epidemic of loneliness. We discuss the impact of the pandemic, a loss of control, why women are at greater risk of developing autoimmune disorders, and the impact of adverse childhood events. We also speak about what negatively impacts healthy childhood development, multigenerational trauma, and healing through compassionate inquiry.\xa0\xa0\nI hope you will find great value in listening to today\u2019s thought-provoking and insightful podcast!\nIN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:\n\nDr. Mat\xe9 discusses and defines trauma.\n\nThe difference between a habit and an addiction.\n\nHow do various addictions ( drugs, work, shopping, attention, etc.) differ?\n\nHow the loneliness and isolation from childhood trauma get carried into adult life and could lead to illness.\n\nHow the social isolation of the pandemic brought some families closer together and drove others further apart.\n\nHow materialism ties into trauma, addiction, and the current epidemic of loneliness.\n\nHow many of the problems clinicians deal with today result from trauma and disconnection\n\nWhat studies show about women and autoimmune diseases.\n\nWhy do we need to acknowledge the impact of the disparity within our modern-day materialist culture?\n\nWhat can we do to ensure that our young children develop in a healthy way?\n\nHealing from multigenerational trauma.\n\n\nConnect with Cynthia Thurlow\n\u2022 Follow on Twitter, Instagram & LinkedIn\n\u2022 Check out Cynthia\u2019s website\xa0\nConnect with Dr. Gabor Mat\xe9\n\nOn his website\n\n\nOn Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube\n\n\n\xa0Dr. Mat\xe9\u2019s book, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture, and all his other books are available online and from most bookstores.\n\nBooks mentioned:\nHold Onto Your Kids by Dr. Gabor Mat\xe9 and Gordon Neufeld\nDr. Mat\xe9\u2019s book, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture, is available from most bookstores
