Conflict, polarisation and Netflix’s Adolescence | Gabor Mate | #016 Mastering Change

We’re joined by acclaimed Hungarian-Canadian physician and one of the world’s foremost voices on trauma and addiction – Dr. Gabor Maté. It’s an illuminating conversation that spans everything from the inner workings of conflict, compassion and self-regulation to media and politics. We touch on polarisation which, Gabor explains, isn’t necessarily a bad thing. We also exploreRupture and repair in relationships The need to consistently recognise our body state  How to balance oneself in conflict The yogic concept of the mind The principles of Compassionate Inquiry Humans’ innate drive for truth and justice Child vs. adult culture — and how today’s norms undermine the parenting role ... And the Netflix series Adolescence! “You’re responsible for how you show up, but not how others’ feel.” Gabor brings, in equal measure, practical wisdom – from decades of clinical insight – and personal revelations to this compelling conversation. Moment of Care: This episode discusses sensitive episodes related to trauma, mental health and potential distressing experiences.
