Gabor Maté: Finding Our TRUE Selves in a Crazy World | Know Thyself Podcast EP 34

In our society when rates of mental and physical illness are on the rise, despite advanced modern medicine, we must look within to ask where we are going wrong. Dr. Gabor Maté is back on The Know Thyself Podcast today, for a deep dive into his analysis of our toxic culture, and how we can heal by finding our true, authentic selves. He explains how to transcend the hypnotic passivity that we have fallen into, and begin to take our health (mental and physical) into our own hands. He explains generational trauma, ignorance in the medical system, and how the coping mechanisms we develop as children lead to detrimental subconscious patterns. He also explains overcoming addiction, emotional awareness, and whether he believes there is a ’divine design’ in all our wounding. ___________ Timecodes: 0:00 Intro 2:13 The Myth of Normal in a Toxic Culture 10:53 Hypnotic Passivity 15:41 Personal Responsibility & Social Media 19:29 Generational Trauma 29:21 Medical System:
