BITESIZE | Why We Are All Addicts | Dr Gabor Maté

Today’s guest brings warmth and wisdom to every conversation we have. He’s a renowned expert on addiction, trauma, stress and childhood development – and someone with a unique understanding of how our spiritual, emotional and physical lives are connected.

Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart.  Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.

Today’s clip is from episode 294 of the podcast with fellow physician, author, speaker and friend – the incredible Dr Gabor Maté.

Gabor’s latest book The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic Culture is quite simply a masterpiece, which has the potential to help people the world over. 

In this clip, he shares his thoughts on the real reason that most of us have addictions, and how the pressures of modern-day living are impacting us more than we realise.
