Human Pain and Healing - Gabor Maté Interview - a podcast by Magdalena Smieszek

Dr. Gabor Maté, renowned expert, speaker, and author, in conversation with Magdalena Smieszek, reflects on human development and the interplay of biological, social, and psychological factors in a human being that he calls biopsychosocial. He talks about his childhood in Hungary between the Second World War, as a Jewish survivor of the Holocaust, and the Hungarian Revolution in 1956 at which point he migrated with his family to Canada. The discussion covers a range of subjects, considering child development, genetics and the environment, multigenerational pain and trauma, identity formation, addiction, and the historical political conflicts around the world caught in a cycle of oppression and retribution. Gabor Maté considers different healing methods for the mind and body and calls for a sense of individual and collective responsibility.
