Jay Shetty & Dr. Gabor Maté: Understanding Your Trauma

PODCAST: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

SYNOPSIS: In this episode, Jay Shetty sits down with Dr. Gabor Maté for a powerful conversation on understanding your trauma, healing, and emotional well-being. A world-renowned expert on addiction, stress, and childhood development, Dr. Maté shares deep insights from his bestselling books, including In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts and When the Body Says No.

What stood out most was his explanation that trauma isn’t just about what happens to us—it’s about how we internalize those experiences. He breaks down why time alone doesn’t heal wounds and how unresolved pain can continue to shape our lives. Jay and Dr. Maté also dive into grief, vulnerability, and the pressures of society, offering a fresh perspective on what truly brings fulfillment.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to better understand themselves or others. Dr. Maté’s wisdom is both eye-opening and hopeful, reminding us that healing is always possible.
