Dr. Gabor Maté & Jay Shetty

Below, you can find a video of Jay Shetty interviewing Dr. Gabor Maté, a well-known expert on addiction, stress, and childhood development.

Dr. Maté has written several influential books, including “In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts” on addiction, “When the Body Says No” on the effects of stress, and “Scattered Minds” on ADHD. He’s also the co-author of “Hold On to Your Kids,” which explores the importance of parental influence over peer relationships. His work has been translated into more than thirty languages, connecting with readers around the world.

In the interview, Dr. Maté delves into the lasting impact of childhood trauma and the nature of emotional wounds that can resurface throughout life. He talks about the vulnerability of our early years and how they influence our emotional well-being. He also touches on the societal pressures that often leave us unfulfilled and the importance of addressing these challenges. Dr. Maté’s insights advocate for a more compassionate approach to healing and growth, making this interview particularly relevant for parents, in my opinion.
