70: Gabor Maté Theory

Hello and Welcome to Episode 70 of the UNFILTERED: Life & Awakening Podcast. In this episode we continue to discuss the process of integration, self acceptance, awakening and healing with discussion of Gabor Mate’s theory on childhood development, trauma, and healing. We introduce the episode by discussing this general concept to healing and trauma process and how these ideas fit into the concepts of acceptance, awakening, and the subject of our podcast. We discuss the pitfalls of self we design to keep us from seeing the truth into our deep sense of self that keep us away from addressing the trauma on the journey of our life. We discuss the stigma and societal norms of being open, vulnerable, and open-hearted toward self and self-acceptance and how this narrative keeps us from achieving full healing and self awakening. We bring in our personal examples of escapism, narrative creation, and avoidance and the process of self that is necessary to facilitate true change, the commitment to overcoming self programming and avoidance. We discuss the pitfalls and the easy ways we can get lost in our choices and the commitment it takes to see through our being and find a way to heal without running. Ultimately, we suggest an easy approach to healing through offering of self love to our broken child of self and the acceptance of being this process can bring if we are ready and wanting to see self from a true integrated point of self. As always, hope you enjoy listening, find this helpful and see your own path to self awakening as we go on the journey of ours.
