On Today's Episode: Either you or someone you know is dealing with illness on some level. Whether it\u2019s an autoimmune condition, metabolic disorder, or mental health crisis, it\u2019s hard to escape the reality of how sick our society has become and so we\u2019ve normalized our lack of health and made it the new norm without really questioning why.\nIn our fast-paced technological world where medical breakthroughs are more common it feels like we\u2019re further from a solution than when we started or we\u2019re just solving for problems we\u2019ve been creating and consequently we\u2019re farther from optimal health than ever before. At what cost is all this happening?\nDr. Gabor Mate is a world renowned trauma and addiction expert with over 40 years experience and respect looking at how trauma has been affecting us from childhood long into our adult years. Today he\u2019s discussing The Myth of Normal, also the title of his latest book on trauma, illness, and healing in a toxic culture. From the very beginning Gabor exposes the myth and explains why this new norm we\u2019ve accepted is actually making us sick.\nBetween exposing how trauma in our childhood and suppressed anger lead to autoimmune diseases and how our adaptive responses to bad parenting decisions cause a plethora of problems in our adult lives, Gabor Mate is laying down food for thought that will shift the way you see everything.\nCheck out Gabor Mate\u2019s latest book, The Myth of Normal, Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture: https://amzn.to/3RQl0rg\n\nSHOW NOTES:\n0:00 | Introduction to Gabor Mate\n0:39 | What Is the Myth of Normal \n6:20 | Authenticity & Attachment \n10:37 | Boundaries For Unconditional Love\n19:45 | Nature\u2019s Agenda for Humans\n30:50 | Best Human Conditions to Thrive\n36:36 | Stop Suppressing Healthy Anger\n47:39 | Depression & Disconnection\n53:32 | Emotional Regulation to Trauma\n59:46 | Breaking Traumatic Cycles\n1:12:35 | Healing Childhood Adaptations\n1:23:50 | Conditions of Unconditional Love\n1:27:14 | Changing an Unhealthy Culture \n\nAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?\nIf you\u2019re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.\nWant to transform your health, sharpen your mindset, improve your relationship, or conquer the business world?
