In this episode of The Healing + Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Gabor Maté, one of the most respected voices in the world on trauma, addiction, childhood development + the mind-body connection, to explore why ADHD is so often misunderstood, and how many patterns people blame on themselves may have deeper roots in stress, sensitivity, and early environment. We talk about the hidden roots of people-pleasing, why chronic stress may be making people sick, how loneliness impacts both emotional + physical health, and how childhood wounds can quietly shape relationships, self-worth, and the partners we choose. Dr. Maté also shares why sensitivity may be a gift rather than a weakness, how the inner critic is formed, and what true healing looks like when we stop asking what's wrong with us and start asking what happened to us. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in painful cycles, too sensitive, chronically stressed, or hard on yourself, this conversation may change how you understand your entire life. === Guest Bio: Gabor Maté (pronunciation: GAH-bor MAH-tay) is a retired physician who, after 20 years of family practice and palliative care experience, worked for over a decade in Vancouver's Downtown East Side with patients challenged by drug addiction and mental illness.
