Men aren’t toxic, they’re traumatized. Renowned physician, author and speaker Dr. Gabor Maté talks about internalized rage, our toxic world culture, childhood trauma and reframing our approach to mental illness. With over 40 years of clinical experience and personal development, Maté takes us to school on our misconceptions about the traumas and “toxicity” within us as he gently reminds us that we are much more connected than we are led to believe.
