Anne Ghesquière welcomes Dr Gabor Maté, a world-renowned physician, speaker, and bestselling author. Dr Gabor Maté explore a radically different view of health and human beings and invites us to shift our perspective, to stop asking “What’s wrong with me?” and begin asking the far more compassionate question: “What happened to me?”What if what we call “normal” is actually deeply unbalanced? Why is there so much psychological and physical suffering in so-called developed societies? What if many of today’s illnesses, anxieties, trauma and addictions are not personal failures, but intelligent responses to a world that asks us to disconnect from ourselves? How can we understand the deep links between trauma, the body, emotions, and behavior? His latest book, The Myth of Normal, is published in French by Guy Trèdaniel Editions, le Mythe de la normalité. Discover his psychotherapeutic approach on his site. Episode #664
