Introducing Gabor Maté: The Childhood Wounds That Shape Everything from No Magic Pill with Blake Mycoskie. Follow the show: No Magic Pill with Blake Mycoskie A Jewish infant under Nazi occupation in Budapest, trauma expert Gabor Maté and his mother came close to extermination. At one point, she gave him to a stranger to save his life. It was an act of heroism and love, yet Maté experienced it as abandonment. He and Blake have a raw and personal conversation about how childhood wounds, however small or seemingly inconsequential, reverberate throughout our lives and inform the ways we show up as parents, partners, and colleagues. In this conversation you’ll learn: – Why most mental and physical ailments, from autoimmune illnesses to depression, often stem from adverse childhood experiences – A revolutionary way to think about ADHD and what to do if your kid has it – Why medication shouldn’t be the first or only answer for kids and how to involve the child in the decision – Why healing starts by asking questions, and how to start You can learn more about Gabor Maté and buy his books at https://drgabormate.com/.
