The Parenthood Trauma

On today’s episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with bestselling author and world renowned speaker, Dr. Gabor Maté. An expert in trauma and addiction, Dr. Mate illuminates the vastly overlooked connection between trauma, stress, and disease that research has proven time and time again. In a quest to better understand ourselves and our behaviors, we take a glimpse at our founder, Danielle Duboise’s own childhood as an example of understanding and relating to the trauma and coping mechanisms that we learn as children– and how they carry into adulthood. We also explore the real impacts of what Dr. Mate calls a “toxic culture” on our overall long-term health, and the tools we can use to move towards finding our true selves while healing from suffering.
