Conflict, polarisation and Netflix’s Adolescence | Gabor Mate | #016 Mastering Change
Description
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 explore:
- Rupture 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.
