The Real Reason You Can't Stop Your Addiction | Dr. Gabor Maté

The Real Reason You Can't Stop Your Addiction | Dr. Gabor Maté

Dr. Gabor Maté reveals a truth most people never hear: the abuse itself isn't always your deepest wound. He challenges everything you've been told about healing, explaining how the real trauma often comes from the people who should have protected you but couldn't. Through deeply personal stories including Lewis's own journey with sexual abuse, Gabor shows why shame keeps us trapped and how our nervous system's freeze response was actually protecting us all along. This isn't about blame or staying stuck in victimhood. You'll walk away understanding that healing means reconnecting with the parts of yourself you've been taught to hide, and that the suffering you've endured can actually become your greatest teacher.

Gabor’s books:

In this episode you will:

  • Discover why sexual abuse or bullying is often a secondary trauma and the real wound comes from not having emotional safety in your family
  • Transform your relationship with shame by understanding that freezing during trauma was your nervous system's brilliant survival mechanism
  • Break through the cultural genocide of authenticity by learning which childhood needs must be met for healthy development
  • Uncover why triggers aren't about the present moment and how to stop letting the past control your reactions
  • Learn what true healing actually means and recognize the signs that you're reconnecting with your authentic self
