Trauma, Illness & Healing in a Toxic Culture with Dr Gabor Maté CM (Canada)

This is a recording of our webinar on 5 December 2023.

Half of North American adults suffer from chronic illness – this fact is viewed by Western medicine largely in terms of individual predisposition and habits. Western medicine imposes two separation of which neither are tenable scientifically.

First, Western practice separates mind from the body – largely assuming most chronic illnesses as having nothing to do with people’s emotional or psychological experiences. And yet, a large and irrefutable body of research has clearly shown that physiological and behavioural functioning of human beings can be understood only if we integrate our bodily functions with those of the mind: functions such as awareness, emotions, our interpretations of and responses to events, and our relationships with other people.

Second, Western practice views people’s health as separate from the social environment, ignoring social determinants of health such as class, gender, economic status, and race. In reality, such factors are far more important influences on health and longevity than solely individual predispositions and personal factors such as genes, cholesterol levels, blood pressure and so forth.

This webinar will show you how a society dedicated to material pursuits rather than genuine human needs and spiritual values stresses its members, undermines healthy child development and dooms many to chronic illness – from diabetes to heart disease, from auto immune conditions to cancer. Dr Gabor Maté’s talk will also weave in the importance of psychedelicassisted therapies to help us heal from a range of mental stresses exacerbated by our increasingly toxic and traumatised world.
